  • Well I have known you
    For just a little while
    But I feel I've known you
    I feel I've seen you
    When the Earth was split in fives

    And in your words, I
    Should let it out, I
    Would see you die
    But I'm a watcher
    I see it watch her

    It's in your afterlife
    This is the Age of Adz
    Eternal living

    Oh keep from trying
    Oh keep from caring
    You are the light

    We see you trying to
    Be something else that
    You're not, we think you're nice

    The circumstances
    Of what I thought, I
    Could see it now
    I wouldn't be so
    I wouldn't feel so
    But it's a running wild
    This is the Age of Adz
    Eternal lving

    When it dies, when it dies
    It rots
    And when it lives, when it lives
    It gives it all it gots
    This is the Age of Adz
    Eternal living

    It rots
    It gives it all it gots
    This is the Age of Adz
    Eternal living

    In all reflections
    I see your method
    I see it all
    And what about you?
    And what about me?
    Are we the lost of lost

    Don't speak too soon, don't
    be fruit of loom, don't
    Excite yourself

    For what you see is
    Not fantasy, it's
    Not what it gets, but gives
    This is the Age of Adz
    Eternal living

    In all reflections
    I see it mentioned
    I see it all

    The gorgeous mess of
    Your face impressed us
    Imposed of all its art
    This is the Age of Adz
    Eternal living

    When it dies, when it dies
    It rots
    And when it lives, when it lives
    It gives it all it gots
    This is the Age of Adz
    Eternal living

    It rots
    It gives it all it gots
    This is the Age of Adz
    Eternal living

    When I die, when I die
    I'll rot
    But when I live, when I live
    I'll give it all I've got

    When I die, when I die
    I'll rot
    But when I live, when I live
    I'll give it all I've got

    Gloria, Gloria
    Victoria, Victoria
    It lives in all of us

    Gloria, Gloria
    Victoria, Victoria
    It lives in all of us

    I've lost the will to fight
    I was not made for life
    I've lost the will to fight
    I was not made for life

    Now I have known you
    For just a little while
    I feel I must be wearing my welcome
    I must be moving on

    For my intentions were good intentions
    I could have loved you
    I could have changed you
    I wouldn't be so
    I wouldn't feel so
    Consumed by selfish thoughts

    I'm sorry if I seem self-effacing
    Consumed by selfish thoughts
    It's only that I still love you deeply
    It's all the love I've got Writer/s: Sufjan Stevens
