Cape Frost

Oh Cape Frost's got
Its fangs in him
With its frozen shores
Fit for ice fishin'

No, no sunny beach
Ripe cabana lovin'
Preach Brave New World
Gotta suffer lustin'

A high school crush
Just to get him talking
Penchant for film
Oh fuck up his dreamin'

The numb dumb waves
Fetch his metaphor
For his "cold dark heart"

Oh tries to write his novel
Treats it like a gospel
All the words he tries to phrase
Are worlds away from him
Short on truths from him

The same old walks
He's done a thousand times
Feel like miles and miles
Oh they're out of sight

Yeah the boardwalks shops
Chippin' paint facades
Just anecdote for when
He's good and gone

Just hold on
Dig your feet in ice sand

Oh one day he'll leave here
Returning as a tourist
Knowing that the songs he's learned
He's reaped from old regrets
Gleaned what time forgets

And he goes
And he goes

Small town hero
Take a breath
These heavy handed fallacies
And hyperbolic fantasies
Are losing what's actually left

Tries to write his novel
Treats it like a gospel
All the words he tries to phrase
Are worlds away from him
Short on truths from him

Oh one day he'll leave here
Returnin' as a tourist
Knowin' that the songs he's learned
He's reaped from old regrets
Gleaned what time forgets
