I Know Its Real by Wye Oak Lyrics

If you are right
This hovers over every human thing
Coloring all of us unnoticed

Still, I'm alive
Stronger than energies
Riding on my back
Anchoring every day to the last

[Chorus]
I know it's real
And it answers me without any sound
Silencing something artificial
It is my companion now
As it all goes down
Hovering only at its limit
And this is all I ask of it

Time amplifies
I'll paint the camouflage
Over all my face
Do you see through the lines
Through the waste
All of my life
I am left fingering
Brittle hearts of bone
Ancestry never leaves us alone

[Chorus]
I know it's real
And it answers me without any sound
Silencing something artificial
It is my companion now
As it all goes down

Think of me
I am not my shadow
And this is all you need to know
