I felt a Funeral, in my Brain Lyrics
[Verse 1: Andrew Bird, Andrew Bird & Phoebe Bridgers]
I felt a funeral in my brain
And mourners to and fro
Treading, treading 'til it seemed
That sense was breaking through
And when we all were seated
A service like a drum
Beating, beating 'til I thought
My mind was going numb
My mind was growing
[Chorus: Andrew Bird & Phoebe Bridgers]
And then I heard them lift a box
And creak across my soul
With the same boots of lead again
Then space, space began to toll
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Phoebe Bridgers, Andrew Bird, Both]
As all the Heavens were a bell
And being but an ear
And I and silence, some strangе race
Wrecked, solitary, hеre
And then a plank in reason broke
And I dropped down and down
And hit a world at every plunge
And finished knowing then
And finished knowing
[Chorus: Andrew Bird & Phoebe Bridgers]
And then I heard them lift a box
And creak across my soul
With the same boots of lead again
Then space, space began to toll
[Outro: Andrew Bird]
I felt a funeral in my brain
And mourners to and fro
Treading, treading 'til it seemed
That sense was breaking through

What have the artists said about the song?
I came across this Emily Dickinson poem and found it to be the most vivid description of an inner world I’ve ever encountered. It became an inspiration for the songs on Inside Problems. Who better to sing it with than Phoebe Bridgers? I sent her a demo and so, here we are. Thanks to Ms. Dickinson’s...
