lyrics

drifting foggy back and forth
screaming envy til I'm hoarse
I've been braving this frozen coast
for half a year by now
bottled message twice my age
eyes forced open, blind with rage
I can't help but scar this page you wrote
with underlines

ice path; impasse
bound by my mistakes
a fever waxing melancholy
freezing in your wake
haunted by the echo
of the words you used to say
my closed circuit shorted out
but I mustn't run away

never erase, just cover up
the tree bark carved initials
from when we were still so young

drink the darkness like a liquor
rusted and stripped out with nothing to show but blisters
wish the memories made me tougher
instead I’m writing letters to the ghost of a former lover:
“standing next to you was like standing next to the sun
and I burned up”
