Mount Eerie - Empty Paper Towel Roll Lyrics



Mount Eerie - Empty Paper Towel Roll Lyrics




It's as if I'm looking at a corner of the sky through a cardboard tube
And I'm impressed, seems huge
This is my idea of bottomlessness
Too small a slice of the night sky
Through an empty paper towel roll
Without even trying I diminish infinity

Knowing that wide winds find me
From a place I'll never know
I'm human. I know very little. I narrow my eyes.
With my life so far and all its conditions
I squint at the sky
From in my narrow tunnel vision, my bruised up insides
Can I abandon this position?
See beyond my little life
I sit and breathe slow at the end of the night

And finally the sun cracks over the hill
A brief glimpse through wide open air
