Lyrics Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Stevens

Age of Adz

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
