lyrics

just as it seems
when you cannot remember
a star shines unseen
across the white darkness
a cold passive wind
doesn’t whisper like it used to
the more you fell in
the more you dissected

who’s out walking in the city at dawn?
scaling the spine like the cold tips of fingers
the blessed can see but its small consolation
when a cut on the cheek is all you amount to
oh yeah

my head swam with horses
my eyes were full of needles
if i die tonight remember
i swung out from my center
i raise my arms to greet you
you were my golden sun
whatever can be done

a silver relief
what i’ve known by touch ’til now
exalt what be briefly beheld by its virtue
a crack of pane shifts
and it pays when i hurt you
in quiet strangulation
i don’t wanna be so cold

all cried a scene
i pretend i could tell you
and the more you fell in the more you got used too
a star shines unseen across the white darkness
and the hillsides turnabout i don’t wanna be so cold

the lens pulls free and was struck by the sharpness
it’s just my conceit pulling eyespots from the darkness
a cranial seed
a mercator projection
whatever is seen becomes your possession

you climb upon cinders
the flesh now beneath you now
up ahead were standing
a party of pretenders
they know you much better
and they’ll take your life away
and in silent negation
i don’t wanna be so cold

just as it seems when you cannot remember
a star shines unseen across the white darkness
a cold passive wind that won’t ever give in
and i just can’t wait around here for you
