Smells on the air
see there its crushing
the final impression
the stains on the paper
where words fell like water
unearth all the changes that never did matter
I think its beginning to freeze here
Caught in the rage and the fire of things
all the brightness that burns me
im fumbling through like a child in the dark
when the nakedness comes
i am shocked by the colour
the glorious weight of your skin
comes alive
and i never thought we'd make it back so soon
might be nice
but i knew you'd be your own destroyer
comes a time
and i never thought i'd make it up to you
Here please forgive me
how could we escape all the bitterness
piled upon bitterness
held in the face of the things
that i don't understand
intellectualize
over and over
this helplessness suits us
funny how quiet
it slipped to our corners
worn all our edges away you are watching
breathing and baiting; wanting and warming
and cautiously waiting for some simple signal
to creep cross your conscience
uncover redemption and oh did i mention i carried you down
to the St. Lawrence river
the banks running dirty
the waters beginning to freeze here; solid by morning
and i'll freeze here; it's winter by morning
yea yea
comes alive
and i never thought we'd make it back so soon
might be nice
but i knew you'd be your own destroyer
don't have time
and i always knew i'd make it up to you
I saw on your face such a curious grin
as i let go your hand i was
desperate to hold you again
but you're sinking
to deep in the water
outsmarted myself and so easily
gave up what i wanted
solid by morning
what i wanted
it's winter by morning
yea yea
comes alive
and i never thought we'd make it back so soon
might be nice
but i knew you'd be your own destroyer
and i'll freeze here
it's winter by morning
