My Possession Songtext

von Dirty Projectors

Standing in the rain
Raise up with the day
Giving in to old sensations
You are still the same

I'll give you this, but hold it close and please remember
The ones you find, are you inside another vessel?

I know I should know better
I'm still the same
I've been holding this forever
Maybe I'm afraid
To let go of my possession
It's time to throw it away

Quiet in the dawn
Whatever is gone
Leaves in place, a great expansion
Now and from now on

I can't give you the one thing that I see you missing
You gotta choose it on your own, open and willing

I know I should know better
I'm still the same
I've been holding this forever
Maybe I'm afraid
To let go of my possession

I know I should know better
I'm still the same
It's been holding me forever
Maybe I'm afraid
To let go of my possession
It's time to throw it away

Sparks fly out of my eyes
My head's spinning, my possession
Spider walk down the hall
It flays my skin, my possession
