"Foxfire" lyrics


EMPIRE! EMPIRE! (I WAS A LONELY ESTATE) LYRICS

"Foxfire"

I became an atheist
the Junior year of my spring semester
in college

My friend from back home moved
into our already crowded two-bedroom apartment
that now housed four and five when Cathy would
move in later that year

He was unyielding and used logic
like a hammer or a martyr,
and would hurl question after question
across the four-foot gap
between his mattress and mine

It absolved me of any last remaining doubt

There was a certainty that finally settled in
that had been torn open during my freshman year
over a course in Cultural Anthropology

I am comfortable knowing that this is it
There is so much more beauty in a life that also has death

Thanks to ydjmg for these lyrics
