Lyrics
I can't remember
A time before now
The chill of December
The thrumming of a snow plow
The light did bear over
The morning's glittering array
Of animals and poor rovers
For here they must stay
A strange feeling overtakes them
Suffocating them all
And to the darkness below
Condemned, condemned, condemned
I never heard the cackle of a raven
Never saw their patterns of flight
For they may never find haven
In the night, cold night
Until a kind martyr
Freed us from what loomed
Unholy waters
The future mistuned
And dark untrodden paths
We're all we could walk upon
My shoe soles are solid black
So long, so long, so long
A man stands 'round the corner
A chipped tooth, a silhouette
Grasping the knife that tore her
From a life that didn't mean shit
The cold will conceal
All that finds itself nice
All that remains revealed
All that can't be quenched
Now that I'm drenched with water
From the lips of silver spouts
That curl around and enclose the
Weary cries and uneven shouts
And I'm spinning around
Feet aren't touching the ground
Everything's fucked anyhow
Everything's fucked anyhow
