“I Want to Be Well” (Sufjan Stevens cover)

Lyrics

I want to be well
I want to be well
I want to be well
I want to be well

And I forgive you even
As you choke me that way
With the pill or demon
And the shrouded shalom
Under conversation
In tremendous weight of
A crowd of ages outside
Dressed for murder

I’m not fucking around
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around

And shall I kiss you even
As you take me that way?
With the pill or demon
As my body changes
Apparitions gone awry
They surround me, all sides
But from within I see
Unholy changes

I’m not fucking around
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
I’m not, I’m not, I’m not fucking around
