lyrics

Lyrics:

We are sitting in the snowstorm as the white drowns out the clouds.
The way I told you to get out of here while you were walking out.
I've been sailing through my choices on the sighs of the ghosts of the road.
But it's too easy in this tide because the dead always guide you home.

And I am hunched beneath the hurricane with a towel and a shirt,
The way the words I use against the pain are really just as hurt.
The only warmth I draw from now is just my body and the sun,
and maybe the friction on the wrong side of the gun.

I lost my last tooth to my gaping neck
I think I'm off in my head again;
I think I've walked through my last mirage.
Well, something's got it in for me, the upraised root, the low-hung tree, and still,
If you will, I will.
I will.

It is raining in the pool and you splash me as I drown.
The way I hung around alone before I heard that you left town.
Weeelll if I'm not struck by lightning then I guess I'm not as special as the ground.
And if I refrain from talking then I'll never be as lonely as I sound.

I stored my last breath in a rambling wind,
My thought was lost midair again.
I think I've bled on my last corsage.
But if you ever turn around and find what it is you once found, then still,
If you will, I will.
I will.

I lost my last axiom when the last I sung didn't mean anything.
And if all we were was a motion blur, I'm a harbinger of dexterity.
If all the teeth that've died were conveyed inside, I'd be broke but I'd have what grew out of me.
And though I hold tight to your vines at night, you've got scissors on the balcony.
I'm not yet torn to pieces though I'm sure that all these cracks will show.

I lost my last love to the past and then,
I think I'm off in my head again.
I think I've walked through my last mirage.
And though the years have nothing changed, I'm waiting for the olden days until
If you will, I will
I will
I will
