(This Is) The Thing – Sufjan Stevens & Angelo De Augustine
By
This is the thing about people You never really know what’s inside Somewhere in the soul there’s a secret Hysteria grows where it was invited
This is the thing about fiction How everything feeds on its paranoia Wrapping it all up in tradition Now fill up the cup, go and drink your poison
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence So give it all up, give it distance Live it up for the path of resistance
This is the thing about confusion You never really know what you’ll find Tell me what it means to be human The freedom you seek is to free your mind
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence So give it all up, give it distance Live it up for the path of resistance
This is the thing about evil You never really know where it’s hiding Find your phantom in the cathedral The more you search for it, the less you’ll find
My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence So give it all up, give it distance Live it up for the path of resistance My love is a witness for the loss of your innocence So give it all up, give it distance Live it up for the path of resistance
