Until I Am Whole - The Mountain Goats

Sunset on Snohomish

Burn the tree line down

Hold my hopes underwater

Stand there and watch them drown

Fishing out their bodies

From the bathroom sink

Leave them in a bucket

'til they start to stink

I think I’ll stay here

'til I feel whole again

I don’t know when

Trout swim past the fishing lines

Sky gets dark and close

Cars start up and make

Their nightly exodus

On a picnic bench alone

Watch the sky go dark

Dig my nails into my hands

Hope it leaves a mark

I think I’ll stay here

'til I feel whole again

I don’t know when
