Winter Is Coming

I see the winterShe's crawling up the lawnI feel her breathing beneath my palms

She tears the trees downWhile curses roll from her tongueGot eyes like anvils and storms for lungs

Hiding in our house, sunburn in his mouthSummer's in our basement nowLight beneath the door, light beneath the doorJust enough to keep us warmDon't you let it out, don't you let it outJust make sure he's always around

But we're all out of time, nothing left to decidePack your things up quick, this one can't be fixedLeave the rest of it behind

We push through trees nowOur house is covered in iceOur breath falls from our mouths like tiny rainclouds

We tug on SummerAnd he melts the snow at our feetShe's on our heelsThere's never time to stop and sleep

I feel you breathingI hear you curse my nameI hope that you'll forgive me one of these days

The sky is bleedingThe fog is thicker than wallsShe's wrapped up in it like cloth on a wrecking ball

Everything we stoleEverything we brokeEverything we bought is goneA couple dumb mistakes, bigger than we thoughtNothing left to do but runIf I could put it back, fill in all the cracksNothing there I wouldn't changeBut wishing never helps, wishing never helpsWishing never solved a thing

You were rightYeah, you were rightYou were rightYeah, you were right
