cimmerian shade

Sufjan Stevens

[Verse 1]
The lamb cries 'til ears ring
I cannot love from my prison of shame
In Cimmerian Shade
I'll keep her safe in the well, tailor made

[Chorus]
I just want you to love me
I just wanted to know myself
Fix it all, Jonathan Demme
Beauty resides where your spirit dwells

[Verse 2]
My Starling flies into the rainbow
Lost in the mist, chrysalis, kill your idols
Safe in my Autogynephilia
One black witch moth, now she's lost in the meadow

[Chorus]
I just want you to love me
I just wanted to change myself
Fix it all, Jonathan Demme
Beauty resides where your spirit dwells

I just want you to love me (I just want you to love me)
I just wanted to change myself
Fix it all, Jonathan Demme (Fix it all, Jonathan Demme)
Beauty resides where your spirit dwells
[Verse 3]
Save me from everything I ask for
Soil from the sod, lamb of god, rest in peace
I'm still just running from the answer
Safe in the cell, kiss and tell, my Clarice

[Chorus]
I just want you to love me
I just wanted to love myself
Fix it all, Jonathan Demme
Beauty resides where your spirit dwells

I just want you to love me (I just want you to love me)
I just wanted to love myself
Fix it all, Jonathan Demme (Fix it all, Jonathan Demme)
Beauty resides where your spirit dwells

[Outro]
I just want you to love me
I just want you to love me
(I just wanted to love myself)
I just want you to love me
I just want you to love me
(I just wanted to love myself)
I just want you to love me
(I just wanted to love myself)
