lyrics

We dreamt of a home in polar sky
Of colors bound to arctic night
The northern lights were intertwined
Your veins were laced with mine
I was wed to Venus in foxglove crown
Aurora grove where snow comes down
It was only a dream, your vine threaded gown
I called your name but there was never a sound

It's always love that feels good
So why do I choose to do harm
And get treated like a dog
I take back everything I said
I don't feel anything in the end
Forgive me for being wicked
Begging for any shred of love
I don't know how to hold another
Pack my wounds with snow and sulfa

I don't know sex
I don't know light
There's never a precious place to hide
No clever way to say
I just want to die today

Damn these shaking hands
They don't know how to hold another
