Barn Owl, Night Killer Lyrics
All I had hoped for
I kept inside your car The rabbit in the barn Most of all I wait I wait beside the door I wait beside the door Oh, I was wrong Trembling in the cage I was diamonds in the rage In seven hours I consider death And your father called to yell at me You little boy, you little boy Found out you cheated me I ran behind the barn and cut my hand somehow Blood in the meadow lark I punched your ears instead I punched you in the head You only laughed and laughed and laughed How I was wrong, tingling from the kill You tickle me until You devil bird, you evil still I slept on my arms, sleeping on the sill I was sleeping in the room with you You little boy, you little boy How could you run from me now The loneliest chime in the house The loneliest chime in the house You let it out, you let it out Come to your Calvary still I'm bleeding and breaking until I'm bleeding in spite of my warmth for you It bruised and bruised my will Come to me now with your pains The breathing inside of the rage You touched me inside of my cage Beneath my shirt your hands embraced me Come to me feathered and frayed For I am the ugliest prey For I am the ugliest prey Beyond the reckless, reckless raise You said you'd wait for me Down by the tannery creek Far out by the clothesline Where we used to kiss behind the sheets Wrapped in a blanket of red The owl and the tanager sat The owl and the tanager said One waits until the hour is death

And is it even real?
Sorry, but I've become kind of skeptical about "unreleased" Sufjan tracks ever since the Oregon fiasco.

one waits until the hour is death.). I think this song explores the notion of abuse in an eerie and beautiful way.

"cut my hand somehow" not "hand"
"The breathing inside of the rage" not "range"
"The owl away has spread his praise" not "Beyond the reckless, reckless raise"
That last one is tough to nail down 100%, especially the 'away has' syllables.
