Lyrics

Two Things
Words and music by Rachel Bellinsky

there are things so terrifying
nobody can think about them
the helicopters are looking for them
up above your house

there is a love so enormous
nobody can count the volumes
the garden has begun to bloom
in the ground outside your house

and there are words so great
no one can write them down

and there are two things
from which you can never hope to be saved

something crawls under the bed
spiders live inside your clothes
most of the time you never know
they never make a sound

there is a hole so gigantic
not even god can fit inside it
in fact he is terrified of it
deep within the ground

and there?s a way to fill it
but it just can?t be found

and there are two things
from which you can never hope to be saved
the pain of knowing
and the pain of not knowing
so you might as well be brave

there?s a solitary bird
you can hear it just outside
singing alone in the middle of the night
with neither shame nor pride
and you fall asleep and dream about the sky

chorus
