The Bottomless Pit
Phil Elverum
[Verse 1]
Singing about the mountains and the cloud
Death on the peak, the vast silence
It probably seems like I’m turning my head and loving a lost world
That may be true
[Verse 2]
But I have actually seen it
The bottomless pit on the side of the trail
I have actually seen it
Yeah, I drove out to the state park with my belly full
And the weight on my back
There’s another world inside this one, but you don’t have to go there
I have actually seen it
I have actually seen it
The bottomless pit opens when you yawn
[Outro]
Letting it all go or taking it all in
Which way should I live out my short life?
Meanwhile, it all yawns indifferently
