lyrics

Let's defy carbon-dioxide while our breaths are aligned.
We grow on our own vine twisted high above the skyline.
I confess that I have placed bets on the mechanics of this process.
Cut and dry. Oh, what a life. There is only hope we will land alright.

I'm just steam billowing freely within the cold breeze.
Time is flowing within me and it burns so brightly. Bright and fiery.
I still scream much like a banshee, but I do so quietly. dim, and timely.
I'm long gone. What went so wrong? Let's find a place where freaks like us belong.

Placeholders take shape in the way you always say, "This might be worth something someday"

There is still flesh beating in our chest's. And it is oh so complex. soft and precious.
I compress the air between my breaths in silent protest. I did my best.
Let's just test the meaning of progress and cause some unrest.
I feel the snow fill my torso. I sense a glow you would never know.

Icicles grow legs. And it is like you always say, "You are so good at running away."
