lyrics

Your white wings unfold.
Sooner or later you're gonna wish you'd stayed home.
Your lights shining gold,
And taking forever. It's more than you can afford.
Your covered up with snow,
And drifted in mouthfuls, you're falling over the road.
You're quiet, but you're cold and shivering.
Water is freezing around your clothes.

So while you're sinking, keep breathing.
This is not our fault.
If you stop shaking, I'll wait or try to pull you up.
Explain your thinking in some way.
You're shy but you've been taught.
Your silent sleeping is so bright,
It always keeps me up.

You repeat your love.
I think it's mindless, but it's getting louder.
We cleaned up your blood,
But you keep finding it under your shadow.
You give life to songs,
And then you hide out in the open snow.
It's not the same, it's cold.
It's nearing the violence and then we wake up.

So while you're sinking, keep breathing.
This is not our fault.
If you stop shaking, I'll wait or try to pull you up.
Explain your thinking in some way.
You're shy but you've been taught.
Your silent sleeping is so bright,
It always keeps me up.

Your white wings unfold.
Sooner or later you're gonna wish you'd come home.
Your lights shining gold,
And taking forever you know.
