lyrics
I wake up in the night, my body is paralyzed
Mind is running reckless, colours are all alive
All across my eyelids, the silence of the spheres
What manner of evil would think it engineered?
Still, I left my friends and family pastured
Boarded a ship to spread the news
When I started to feel like I believed in a lie
I climbed up a mountain to get my dues
Nobody wanted him dead
Nobody wanted him dead
Cargo on the jetty knocks me out of reverie
It is only in my lover’s arms that I can ever sleep
In regeneration, we will all persevere
Sun across our bodies, how long we been lying here?
Memory is what makes you older
You hold on to memory like a mother-hoarder
And time gets quick as you administrate
All the leavings of the passing years
And I pull your arms around me
I pull your arms around me
Did I pick you up so I could feel again
Like the boy who had the eye of every man?
I pull your arms around me
I pull your arms around me

This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time. isaiah_stuart
