Paper Forest (In the afterglow of Rapture)-Emmy the Great

[ti:Paper Forest (In the afterglow of Rapture)] [ar:Emmy the Great] [al:Virtue] [00:00.83]You're not unlucky, you're just not very smart. [00:03.23]These things will never leave you - they're as close as you can get [00:06.71]To a blueprint for the future - but you can call it fate. [00:13.13]It's like these days I have to write down almost every thought I've held, [00:16.56]So scared I am becoming of forgetting how it felt, [00:20.17]And these fears they will unravel me one day, [00:22.45]But still I am afraid. [00:26.34]But I'm blessed - [00:29.52]Just to be, more or less - [00:33.20]Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left. [00:39.49]Oh blessed - [00:42.81]Just to be, more or less - [00:46.57]Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left. [00:53.57]Lyrics by 小九哈哈 [00:56.01]Now you're blessed amongst all women, [00:57.76]Now a man who's very good, [00:59.62]He tells you how you feel until your life is understood, [01:02.92]And he leads you through it arm in arm as though [01:05.31]There was a map to guide the way. [01:09.30]Now you write because you love him, now you write because he's kind, [01:12.96]You write so much, you look up and you wrote yourself behind, [01:16.15]And you're standing in a labyrinth of paper and the map has been erased. [01:22.61]But you're blessed - [01:25.40]Just to be, more or less - [01:29.23]Standing in the afterglow of rapture with the words the rapture left. [01:35.78]Are you blessed? [01:39.03]Just to be, more or less? [01:42.39]Now you're standing in the afterglow of rapture, but there is no rapture left. [02:02.36]Oh come, and we will celebrate the things that make us real, [02:05.88]The things that break us open, and the things that make us feel [02:08.96]Like these accidental meetings up and partings of the way [02:12.39]Are not so much our choice but in the blood of how we're made, [02:15.64]It's like the way I have to write down almost everything I see, [02:18.91]So that the record does obscure the thing the record used to be, [02:20.91]And I know I'm not unlucky, [02:24.23]I was just born this way. [02:28.61]But I'm blessed.oh~~ [02:42.44]Blessed~~oh~~ [02:55.25]Now a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisles, [02:58.79]The baby born with teeth looks at its mother and it smiles, [03:02.10]And we all fall down [03:04.43]Like wind blows through the paper forest. [03:08.51]And a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisles, [03:11.89]The baby born with teeth looks at its mother and smiles, [03:15.34]And we all fall down [03:15.44]As wind blows through the paper forest.s [03:21.72]And a paper forest grows up in the supermarket aisle [03:25.32]Alarm clock fingers turn they're counting seconds like they're miles [03:28.28]And you say, "wake up now, 'cause I can see no paper forest."
