(un)knowing Songtext
von Young Jesus

Knowing′s led to what I know
It comes and then it goes
Unknowing's what I′ve grown

Arguments aside
It's just a life
Dusk gives way to night
Then holds the light

Felt a pain and let it last
Let it grow with goodness and

Future present,
Future passed

By the fields of cloud and bone
Calcified, laid out like a home
Phantom limb
Phantom cornerstone

Watch the way it shakes
This knowing mind
Do you build with higher stakes?
Or let it lie?


Felt a pain and let it last
Let it grow with goodness and

Future, present,
Future, past.

The slower motions of decay
This human speed accelerates
I dream of breathing, broken things
I wake up on the verge of hearing

Fields of clouds and angels ringing bells
And stretching out their wings
Oh, give me all your perfect things
Your weightlessness and pure belief

Oh God and Mary, Jesus Christ
Won't bless me for my every vice
I′ll be redeemed in shame and grief
In knowing I may not find peace

I rub my eyes and hear my partner′s breath
Forget these lonely depths
Forget the perfect and performed
Just listen to this love unknown
