What Happens To People? - Deerhunter

What happens to people?

Their lives up in arms

What happens to people?

They quit holding on

What happens to people

And what can they do?

They’re only returning

The powers of youth

What happens to people?

What happened to you?

What happens to people?

They fade out of view

I can’t remember your face

It’s lost to me

It’s lost to me

Now it’s ending

The wounds remain

Unpaved, unpaved

What happens to people?

They quit holding on

What happens to people?

Their dreams turn to dark

The rust in your castle

You’re trying to fail

Old lady, let me into your rotting house

Your rotting house

Old man, take a step back

And figure it out

I’ll figure it out

Old lady, cover your branches

Winter is coming

Beware

Old man, oil your engine

You’re rusting out

You’re rusting out

What happens to people?

They quit holding on

And they’re locked out

They get locked out

Locked out

They get locked out

Locked out

They get locked out
