Wraith Pinned To The Mist And Other Games
of Montreal Lyrics

Let's have bizarre celebrations.
Let's engage in weird, unconventional festivities.

Let's forget who, forget what, forget where.
Let's ignore the details of our lives and surroundings.

We'll have bizarre celebrations
We'll continue to partake in strange and unusual revelries.

I'll play the Satyr in Cyprus, you the bride being stripped bare.
I'll take on the role of a mythical creature known for its lust, while you play a bride being prepared for marriage.

Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica.
Let's imagine that we're in a remote, uninhabited location, where we can forget about the rest of the world.

Let's forget when, forget what, forget how.
Let's also disregard the timing, specifics, and manner of our actions and experiences.

We'll play Tristan and Iseult, but make sure I see white sails.
We'll act out a medieval story of two lovers, but with the added requirement that I witness a certain detail.

Maybe I'll never die, I'll just keep growing younger with you, and you'll grow younger, too.
Perhaps I'll never age or meet my demise, and instead will continue to reverse in years alongside you.

Now it seems too lovely to be true, but I know the best things always do.
This notion may seem too idyllic to believe, but I have faith that the most wonderful experiences are indeed possible.

Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica.
Again, let's imagine ourselves in a remote, otherworldly place away from others.

Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica.
Once more, let's immerse ourselves in the fantasy of being alone in Antarctica.

Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica.
Let's fully embrace this idea of disappearing and existing only in this imagined icy environment.

Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica.
Yet again, let's focus on the dream of being isolated together in Antarctica.

Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica.
One more time, let's lose ourselves in the scenario of being entirely alone in Antarctica.

Let's pretend we don't exist, let's pretend we're in Antarctica.
Lastly, let's repeat this idea of mentally disappearing and inhabiting a land of snow and ice.
