Song

So You Are Tired

Sufjan Stevens

Javelin, 2023, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

So you are tired of us
So rest your head
Turning back 14 years
Of what I did and said
So you are breathing disaster
I did what I was told
But I was a man born invisible
Was it something I said or some kind of joke?
So you are tired as the sun
Are you with or without a friend?
Bring me back everything caught in your shield
Let everything else descend
So you are seething with laughter
Was it really all just a joke?
I was a man indivisible
When everything else was broke
So, you are tired of even my kiss
So go back to your den
Throwing out everything left in your field
When there was nothing left to defend
So you are dreaming of after
Was it really all just for fun?
I was the man still in love with you
When I already knew it was done
So you are tired of me
So rest your head
Turning back all that we had in our life
While I return to death
