LYRICS:
Now that I fell into your arms
My only lover
Give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost

Drag me to hell
In the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother
Give wings to a stone
It’s only the shadow of a cross

I slept on my back 
In the shade of the meadowlark 
Like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart

I’ll drive that stake through the center of my heart
Lonely vampire
Inhaling its fire
I’m chasing the dragon too far

There’s blood on that blade
Fuck me, I’m falling apart
My assassin
Like Casper the ghost 
There’s no shade in the shadow of the cross

LYRICS:

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud 
Frightened by my feelings
I only want to be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I want to believe

When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my vest, be my fantasy

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should’ve wrote a letter 
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

In “Carrie and Lowell,” Sufjan Stevens is a child again or, more specifically, the child character in the family of man drama that often but not always centers on the story of love given, or love forsaken, but isn’t that the same thing to the poet? That the love Stevens sings about having left or given or been born to–thank you, Carrie–is a perceptible wound not only on the singer’s throat, but his sleeve: he wears love’s incomprehensibility, and the deep incomprehensibility of being a son, like a backing vocal on “Carrie and Lowell,” which is also filled with colors, hearts, trees, conclusions, and beginnings,

Second Album, Slightly better than the first 

Sentimental

Lyrics:

 
there's a forest
with a cave
hidden deep
within my dreams
where I hide
my secrets
safe to keep
because
I don't believe in fate
just memories made
and a safe place to keep them
that I don't have to share
that's not a burden 
dreams were made to bare
your soul
is weight
in the canopy haze
of the state
where you
put all your faith
and pray

slow dark and steady
this body is ready
but my heart 
is only willing to lie
slow dark and steady
this feeling is heavy
and my heart
still don't do sharing right
slow dark and thready
maybe I'm not ready
this heart
ain't healthy enough to bare
fast hot and heavy
where you wanna levee my pain
to say we're closer because
we've both been scared

It's hell-dark
It's so cold
It's almost the end times
that's what it feels like
to choke
when you ask what's broke
It's not far
the dying light
It's almost
painting the sky
that's what I see 
when I squint just right
when you ask if I've got a light
 
And I say no, I'm
slow dark and steady
this body is ready
but my heart 
is only willing to lie
slow dark and steady
this feeling is heavy
and my heart
still don't do sharing right
slow dark and thready
maybe I'm not ready
this heart
ain't healthy enough to bare
fast hot and heavy
where you wanna levee my pain
to say we're closer because
we've both been scared

It's hell-dark
It's so cold
It's almost the end times
that's what it feels like
to choke
when you ask me 
what's broke

Lyrics:
Is someone gonna cut me some slack? 
Now that it’s a quarter to ten
Come on baby gimme some sugar 
You tell me that you wanna fall back 
But I don’t wanna do this again 
Come on baby gimme some sugar

Stand up straight now stand real tall 
And wipe that writing off the wall 
This is the right time
Come on baby gimme some sugar 
Now put one foot in front of the other 
Take a breath now breathe, my lover 
Let’s take up this lifeline
Come on baby gimme some sugar

Is that the weight of the world on your back? 
Surrender with that colorful flag
Come on baby gimme some sugar
Yeah they’ve been selling us this fiction as fact 
But I don’t wanna lose you again
Come on baby gimme some sugar

Chorus...
Don’t make me wait
Don’t make me wait too long 
Don’t make sing the sad song
Come on baby gimme some sugar

All the shit they try to feed us
Don’t drink the poison or they’ll defeat us 
This is the right time
Come on baby gimme some sugar
Don’t break my heart, don’t break my flow now 
And all this rage has got to go now
Let’s take up this lifeline
Come on baby gimme some sugar 
Chorus...

Sufjan Stevens - Sugar

Asthmatic Kitty Records is an independent record label that was co-founded by Lowell Brams and his stepson, singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens, in 1999. Since its founding, AKR has released albums by a variety of artists, including Lily & Madeleine, My Brightest Diamond and Helado Negro, and is currently home to Sufjan Stevens, Angelo De Augustine, Denison Witmer and The Welcome Wagon. 

Asthmatic Kitty was named after Sara, an orange and white tabby who wandered out of the woods pregnant and starving near Holland, Michigan in 1994. For fourteen years she brought joy as a beloved friend to Lowell, enjoying a happy life despite her initial hardships. Her asthma improved after moving west to New Mexico and Wyoming, where she lived out her days as an asthmatic kitty in name only.
