Impossible Soul - Sufjan Stevens

[00:06.40]Part 1
[00:21.06]Woman, tell me what you want
[00:24.91]And I'll calm down
[00:27.62]without bleeding out
[00:29.83]With my broken heart
[00:31.62]that you stabbed for an hour
[00:36.44]Woman,
[00:40.13]I was freaking out because I want you to know
[00:45.99]My beloved,you
[00:47.69]are the lover of my impossible soul
[00:54.41]And woman,
[00:57.07]promise you'll stay and put off all your woes
[01:03.57]I was bleeding out,
[01:05.99]too much worry,I
[01:07.64]could not get you at all
[01:12.64]And if you said what you want,
[01:14.96]You would laugh it off
[01:17.61]But I know you won't go,
[01:21.78]not for either class
[01:24.18]Must you write it off
[01:25.64]for the impossible soul?
[01:30.86]And I was in a dream,
[01:33.26]I was gone away without you
[01:36.24]but not too slow
[01:40.94]At last I put it off,
[01:41.54]for I put it right
[01:43.50]for the impossible soul
[01:48.55]And all I couldn't sing,
[01:51.01]I would say it all
[01:53.37]My life to you,
[01:56.39]if I could get you at all
[02:02.44]Don't be a wreck,
[02:05.30]trying to be something
[02:07.35]that I wasn't at all
[02:52.33]Seems I got it wrong,
[02:55.04]I was chasing after something
[02:58.10]that was gone
[03:01.70]To the black of night
[03:04.94]Now I know it's not
[03:06.01]what I wanted at all
[03:10.41]You'll say something like,
[03:13.51]all you want is
[03:14.56]all the world for yourself
[03:17.68]And all I want is the perfect love,
[03:21.69]though I know it's small
[03:24.04]I won't love for its soul
[03:28.44]And all I couldn't sing,
[03:31.20]I would say it all
[03:33.44]My life to you,
[03:36.44]if I could get you at all
[03:41.00]Oh, oh oh oh,
[03:45.06]trying to be something
[03:47.21]that I wasn't at all
[03:50.34]Part 2
[03:53.37][Shara Worden & Sufjan Stevens]
[03:56.63]Do you want to be afraid?
[04:04.29]Do you want to be afraid?
[04:12.35]For life in the cage
[04:16.51]where courage's mate
[04:19.93][04:20.96]runs deep in the waves
[04:23.78]For the scariest things
[04:27.70]are not half as enslaved
[04:32.29]Don't be distracted
[04:36.30]don't be distracted
[04:40.41]Do you want to be alone?
[04:48.26]Do you want to be alone?
[04:55.74]For life isn't stained
[04:59.49]of righteousness pale
[05:04.12]The seed and the hail,
[05:07.73]all the clouds that have left
[05:11.84]aren't interested
[05:16.50]Don't be distracted,
[05:20.26]don't be distracted
[05:24.27]Do you want to love me more?
[05:32.28]Do you want to love me more?
[05:40.10]For love is the breath
[05:44.01]If water and wind
[05:47.86]is cursed by the same thing
[05:52.93]that nurtured its shame
[05:55.68]Is it worth all the work?
[06:00.34]Don't be distracted,
[06:04.06]don't be distracted
[06:08.32]Have you failed to feel delight?(No I don't want to)
[06:16.18]And have you failed to feel delight?(No I don't want to)
[06:24.00]Instead of the love,
[06:28.05]lived tired and lost,
[06:27.76]Have you left it at last
[06:35.76]Where it floundered its death
[06:39.62]with the language of ghosts?
[06:44.17]Don't be distracted,
[06:48.13]don't be distracted
[06:52.24]Do you want to be afraid?(No I don't want to feel pain)
[07:00.20]Do you want to be afraid?(No I don't want to feel)
[07:08.46]For life in the cage where
[07:12.82]Where courage's mate
[07:15.72]runs deep in the waves
[07:19.63]For the scariest things
[07:23.63]are not half as enslaved
[07:28.09]Don't be distracted,
[07:32.00]don't be distracted
[08:12.63]Don't be distracted,
[08:16.50]don't be distracted now

[10:46.92]I couldn't be at rest
[10:49.92]From what I liked,

[11:37.51]I couldn't be at rest
[11:41.02]Stupid man in the window,
[11:45.42]I couldn't be at rest
[11:48.92]From what I liked,
[11:51.03]from what I gathered,
[11:53.58]I couldn't give my best
[12:13.11]Oh, I know it wasn't safe,
[12:16.72]it wasn't safe to breathe at all
[12:20.57]Oh, I know it wasn't safe,
[12:24.58]it wasn't safe to breathe at all
[12:28.54]Oh, I know it wasn't safe,
