lyrics

More than figuratively blind
staring deep into the white sun
long shadows in the snow
stretching like it were low tide
with my finger to the flame
dancing dervish like I don't care
despite my cold fear
how my gaze always extends my reach

What we don't know
could fill the annuls of halls
by the river flow
cuts a long way through
with the lights down low
we'd give voice to a bitter truth
if we ever could trust

Not on the page, but on the tongue
out of the alcolytal mouths
gutted the old house out
stripped right down to the screws
shield my eyes from the sun
as if it were a warning light
lace my boots for the drifts
keep them tight so I can run

More than figuratively blind
staring deep into the white sun
long shadows in the snow
stretching like it were low tide
can we take what we unearth
of what we might find buried here?
open canvas stretching out
but there’s something underneath
