stairs to the attic - the antlers
Loading...
Uploaded by fisbee on Mar 7, 2010
I decided on that evening
That I was through with sitting still
I stood up and started moving
With a childlike fascination
For those doors that don't have locks
And the stairways that were blocked
So I dug through the obstruction
Put my fist around the railing
And each step was far apart
And far away from steps before it
And the air was getting thinner
Until I couldn't breathe at all
And if I happened to look behind me
There were miles and miles of stairs
Enough so I couldn't see the doorway
But I knew that it was there
And on the last step I was dizzy
Because there were stairs in all directions
But I found another door
And through the door there was the attic
Without old clothes
Without a ceiling
Everything had opened wide
Into the jaws of something bigger
And suddenly I saw that I was
Upstairs and outside and freezing on the roof
Finally it had found me
The answer, the feeling, and the truth:
That I'm small
That I'm small
That I'm small
I'm smaller than the smallest fireball

That horrible, godawful moment when you discover the Antlers, fall in love, and find out they were at Austin City Limits the one year you didn't go...

Awesome picture for this song. It looks sort of Magritte-like, am I close? Nah you don't have to answer.

you know it could be, but i googled some Magritte images and couldn't find it among them. I stumbled across this one somewhere on the net, and it didn't say who it was by. : /
