lyrics
everything is tragic
and when it’s not just give it time
we can only live in denial
until tomorrow or sometime next week
i think i know the crushing sound of defeat
i set fire to my own house
watched from the roof as the flames grew
i just wanted to be something
now the neighborhood won’t forget me
burdened with my ghost
my love i watch your slender body sleep
in the hours no soul should creep
hold me under water or lead me to the slaughter
either way, we’re fighting for every breath
dreaming of a debt free death
before the banks can take all our dignity
before there is no longer any rest in peace
A crushingly beautiful power trio. A mountain range is better experienced in person but sometimes photographs will have to suffice till the next engagement. Faux/Fox

Throughout this album, somehow, Sufjan makes me care about the state of Illinois. From detailed depictions of various landmarks and folklore, to moments of deep personal introspection; Illinois builds an incredibly dense narrative out of it's seemingly simple concept. The variety of sounds on this album is remarkable, compelling me to smile in one moment, then leaving me a sobbing mess in the next. One of the very few albums I'd consider to be 100% perfect.
