lyrics

A thousand years of winter
And when the sun is finally back
I can't remove the splinter
Because my teeth are painted black
A river here, an ocean there
Unchosen waters frozen

I'd like to rule the ice age
Where no one’s young and no one’s old
Take my place on the white stage
I walked for miles through hellish cold
A shelter here, a fire there
Conclusion or delusion?

Cold kiss, not a thing I miss,
Seeing out my days in the sweet ignorance of bliss,
Cold kiss, never dreamed of this,
I'm losing all my memories, no time to reminisce,
They're burning effigies of me
I know just what I want to be
As I answer the call of the ice age

My mother was a human
Before the world became so cool
She smoked a dozen Cubans
Before she picked me up from school
Will you survive when I'm not there
I wander through the thunder

The dogs will pull me onward
Across the bridge of frozen sea
I listen for the song bird
That sound says it's too late for me
And no one cares when no ones there
Beholder for the soldier

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly. zq9mare1
