North

Tears would be ideal, but such is life
no watery eyes, it's a compromise
Cause what the hell do I need life for?
A part of me dies when I see the cuts on my thighs
Instead, I'll bear the smoky eyes
Be the one who denies my life before I sleep in the sunrise
Write my dad, fill the pages with aged advice
And I'm turning black and blue
I've bit off more than I can chew

So when the cold comes to the north
And I'm going back and forth
Can you pull me from frost?
'Fore my eyes are fully glossed
We can head up to the north
Walk the mountains back and forth
Yet I can still see a shadow where they said I'd be someone

Against the snow, lies a black crow,
Nevermore hurts more than it did some time ago
Over the years we grow old
We both earn scars but they're just for show
Those scars could make me fly, but just for a moment
The red glow is something no love can sow
To watch a son grow, the only hope is to know
When I'm turning black and blue
And I've bit off more than I can chew

So when the cold comes to the north
And I'm going back and forth
Can you pull me from frost?
'Fore my eyes are fully glossed
We can head up to the north
Walk the mountains back and forth
Yet I can still see a shadow where they said I'd be someone

And someday the crow will die
And I'll start my decline
Although I don't have to cut the line
