Faustian Deal Lyrics by Agnes Obel
Like a forest of flames
Like our fiery someday
What would it be to hold the world apart?
Would it be another fable with another plot?
Did you wanna be with an edge apart
Dreaming of the day when your mind goes “wah”?
Did you wanna be like a Minerva
Dreaming of a knife, waking with a scar?
Drum, drum, what will I do?
I’m nowhere where I wanna be when I wanna go with you
Down the dawn, the dawn, the dawn
I am, I fall
I am, I fall with your hands in mine
Like what my lips never say
A Faustian deal is a housebreak
What would it be to reach beyond the mind?
With no false or true to define?
Poor world, cruel world
Did you wanna be with an edge apart
Dreaming of the day when your mind goes “wah”?
Did you wanna be like Minerva
Dreaming of a knife, waking with a scar?
Drum, drum, what will I do
I’m nowhere where I wanna be when I wanna go with you
Open the door, the door, the door
I am, I fall
I am, I fall with your hands in mine
