lyrics

It's getting colder and the water's starting to freeze,
no more liquid is coursing through those veins and I
have been through enough midwestern winters to know that
one of us won't make it out alive.
I'm not shocked, just always disappointed that this ends up the same, with me sobbing over
sheets that still have the scent of a name.
Perfume ghosts residing,
multiplying.
Ingrained in me now like an oak with a heart-shaped mark
and some letters, but my skin's not as thick,
so though we grow apart they never seem to go away.

Carry this with you (everything inside)
swallow the poison (smile and lie)
Too old to love (everything inside)
so I just despise (everything inside)
Tell my mother I'm happy (smile and lie)
tell my mother I'm happy.

I thought some heartfelt words would get through to you,
but I still don't get you,
when words and actions have only failed.
(I missed the mark and I miss you)
We live and die in separate houses
and it doesn't matter that I tired to keep you warm.
The snow falls thick now,
winter's coming.
Winter's coming again.
