Lyrics Real Lost Wisdom - Mount Eerie, Julie Doiron

Real Lost Wisdom

Now I’m frantically grasping
At wisps of dissipating wisdom
As we disband
This is the wealth
I would like to leave to my daughter
When she lets go of my hand
These words
These hopes
We almost exemplified
Wisdom lost
Undiscovered paintings in a cave
We almost went inside
If any descendants ever somehow find
Any evidence of us
On it I’ll inscribe
«Love vehemently»
Like we did without averting your eyes
For love, it’s worth it
Look into the fire
Don’t flinch away, no matter what
Monstrous fears will arise
If there’s a cataclysm and you have to go inside
Please, at least let some wind blow in
Take yet another breath
And stay right there
Courageous and kind
With love permeating
Your doors and windows wide
Look right into the fire, look right into the fire
Look right into the fire, look right into the fire
