awaiting the flood - timothy seth avett as darling lyrics

i hardly know where to beginwindows open, sun falls in
i won’t be going outside today
i just don’t want to get in the way
and that’s just what i’ll be doing

a plastic heart pumps no real blood
it lies very still awaiting the flood
sleep well darling i’m on my way
i saw your light a thousand miles from here
it called me back but i went further still
across endless deserts and dying ground
and since this mornin’ i haven’t made a sound
