A Warm Life In The Cold

Vines 01:46
I wish I could tell you that I arrived at a dead end, but instead there was no land for road. “I am growing nervous of my need to belong, I can tell that I’m scared and I know something’s wrong. I remember a time when I feared everything, but I distinctly remember that I didn't fear a thing...” “This fort you built...” You will always remember the weight of your door, the smell of your first winter and your mother’s beckoning call... In that same way, I gave you my trust. I built you this moment just to watch you destroy it from the inside out.

Faster and faster, we'll drag these new pastures under the water, your hands on my daughter... Take them away; her lungs aren't yours to keep. Faster and quicker, we'll drag these new pastures into the torture with your hands under water... take them away; I built this hone for us, and I'm not sorry. "See me? I'm wasting my time again." Pacing disaster, acquitted of murder, birds in the light, the crows start to circle... Take them away, the feast hasn't yet begun. Faster and faster, we'll drag these new pastures under the water, your hands on my daughter... Take them away; the feast will soon begin, and I'm not sorry. "See me? I'm wasting my time again" "I've seen these broken castles cursing at the air; I've taken note from every note in here. A child is pointing to a sinking ship, but there is no child here, just wishing wells, we're heading up stream." When I'm seeing you, I'm seeing red. Our lungs meet in flames and our bones begin to rub. Like a circling shark, you're deluded by the prize. "Under blue skies I'll please you. Encompassing lies, this love will end you. I'm in the dark. These stars are dead!"

Riviera 03:26
My love said "bury me!" your hands glow in the dark. She'll walk on precious feet in the dark; hidden glass. "I'll sit further back, so I can watch you burn from the inside out. With your hand in mine I can't agree; I can see" "Persevere and marry me", she said, weak at the neck. Pleasuring inventory; "you are armed to the teeth with flaws!" "I'll sit further back, so I can watch you burn from the inside out. With your hand in mine I can't agree; I can see." With your hand in mine. When will you hand me mine? Why do you handle mines? Give back your mind. Bring me the warmest of winds, so I can breathe; you're not in the air.

Black Light 03:15
Out of breath, worried, will I breathe again? You're not breathing now, aren't you? And I find it harder every time to take a breath and I'm worried that I'm letting you down, like a bird whose wings have burnt to bone. The sun is setting the only way she does; burning the clouds, oh how she begs for no shadow. The hills teasing my eyes, I'm begging for tomorrow. The sun, the lady, I am hooked. Fast paced, I raced to the top of the clouds. breathing; teasing you. I am for sharks. You captivate. You're colder than a river. The sun is setting the only way she does; burning the clouds, oh how she begs for no shadow. The hills teasing my eyes, I'm begging for tomorrow. Remember that we're the only two people in here, the eyes the size of the moon your tears would drown the world. Through burning skin she spoke: "My dear, your bones are frail"; Through walls replied emerged: "My dearest, our love reads braille".

On the eve of ice: "I'll find fire in the minds of you, myself and anyone who didn't leave... I've built walls around myself, I was never this nervous in the first - in that moment it was all new to me" Where is my home from home? Your hands breathe colder than stone.
6.
I am so terrified to take you out and get to know you; I know every last crease in your snowballed blouse... i know it like the back of your lifeless hand, so used to holding it up when you rest. I was never this nervous in the first time, in that moment it was all new to me. Don't take me away I'm not yours to burn. The curtain is calling, lampshades are yawning, light wraps it's only ties around your tired eyes for time and these hands can't fly. I was never this nervous in the first time; in that moment it was all new to me. On the eve of ice: "I caught your breath like a butterfly effect, condensation formed faster as I laughed off your smile."

Laced 03:39
When we were growing up you took me to a haunted house; it was your home. How could I ever envisage that it would be you haunting me? I am your ghost, you are haunting me and I'm not yours to keep, put your hands on my chest and pull me to you. When we were growing old you took me to a haunted house; it was your mind. How would I ever have known that you were tired? I am your ghost, you are haunting me and I'm not your to keep, put your hands on my chest and pull me to you. Caught on when I say I?

Santa Muerte 04:17
...and your breath was steady as I once did suggest... now our master plan undone, undressed... I thought a scale would keep us eye to eye, but I'm weighing myself down whilst you stare at the sky. I had this idea of love once, you can't weigh it up, I don't think you would want equality. Arrhythmia, you came in the middle of the night and put your hands on my bones I awoke to see an army. We've been alone a long time, have we ever lived?

Monaco 04:42
Would pride let your lady slip under? I have dreams where she smiled and is as bright as lightning, the thunder crashes in, now the rain washes away colour. There's no sense in her love, she doesn't even breathe like a mother, in these dreams I take your place for a moment, why can't I move I will never know? I try to spell out my name, if only I knew it... I only know the warmth in my surroundings I have never felt this comfort. You won't remember me, I am handing you over. Now pride let your lady slip under, if loves a plant then the roots would tremble. When winter comes love won't stand a chance, without a roof love won't conquer pride, your bride, a golden moment in black where your memories died.
