Until I Am Whole Lyrics

Mountain Goats Until I Am Whole

Sunset on Snohomish
Burn the tree line down
Hold my hopes underwater
Stand there and watch them drown

Fishing out their bodies
From the bathroom sink
Leave them in a bucket
Til they start to stink

I think I'll stay here til I feel whole again
I don't know when

Trout swim past the fishing lines
Sky gets dark and close
Cars start up and make
Their nightly exodus

On a picnic bench alone
Watch the sky go dark
Dig my nails into my hands
Hope it leaves a mark

I think I'll stay here til I feel whole again
I don't know when
