  • So you are tired of us
    So rest your head
    Turning back fourteen 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 Writer/s: Sufjan Stevens
