8 (Circle) Lyrics

philosophize your figure
what i have and haven’t held
you called and i came —stayed tall through it all
fall and fixture just the same thing

Say nothing of my fable, no
What on earth is left to come
Who's agonized and gnawed through it all
I'm underneath your tongue
I'm standing in your street now, no
And I carry his guitar
And I can't recall it lightly at all
But I know I'm going in

Too much for me to pick up, no
Not sure what forgiveness is
We've galvanized the squall of it all
I can leave behind the harbor

I will run (all around it)
Have to crawl (still can't stop it)
Along the fires
One more time just pass me by
I'ma make it half the night
Hall light wishes

To walk aside your favor
I'm an Astuary King
I'll keep in a cave, your comfort and all
Unburdened and becoming

I will run (all around it)
(Sailing off and on, you're on your honor)
Have to crawl
(Carry off and up your seize) still can't
I will run (carry up love along unfettered time)
Now Mona, now Mona
Haven't I locked up my failure (sailing off and ore your odd, your honor)
From the core to the sky
Wouldn't I be last to see? (Carry off and up your seize)
From the door 'til we die
Deny with love my labor (carry up with love a long)
Was it all I could find (we live outside)
Well atonements defined

philosophize your figure
what i have and haven’t held
you called and i came —stayed tall through it all
fall and fixture just the same thing

this is definitely my favorite off of the album. it is shatteringly beautiful. i cant make sense of the lyrics but i will say that i truly admire Justin Vernon's choice to play around with structure throughout the album. his eschewal of traditional verse-chorus song structure plus the non sequitur lyricism is truly magical.

@getthoselyricsright Agreed. This song brings out so many emotions without even understanding what the lyrics mean.

just so all of you know, i had edited the lyrics using the official 8 (Circle) lyrics video as reference but this site has very strange copyright issues so the lyrics have reverted back to being incorrect. specifically the last couple verses.
