From the mouths of malice And the shattered glass of palace Looms a waking baron In the rumbling dust below we call Something for the people that you know Something for the people that you're glad that you don't Something like in stories of before Nothing never happens no more Gather all the brassware Leave the shattered bones, don't ask where Desolate the messhall Barrows to the truly barren ones Something for the people that you know Something for the people that you're glad that you don't Something like in stories of before Nothing never happens no more Something for the people that you know Something for the people that you're glad that you don't Something like in stories of before Nothing never happens no more Nothing never happens no more Nothing never happens no more

Oh how elusive Are the pigments in your body As the stretch you are I find the time will never ripen To our point of connection White horses I lost it White horses I lost it These times are dark Darker than the pupils against your braids I don’t know if we will ever meet again But I’ll keep running for you And when you swipe across my brows I will have forgotten all we leave behind Blowing in the wind In an empty land of our abandoned past White horses I lost it White horses I lost it

It’s cold and dark every time I see you It’s cold and dark every time we meet The things we say - so arbitrary And our days - so ordinary It’s cold and dark Every time I greet you It’s cold and dark Every time we speak I don’t know why, in the morning you’re so veiled And why conversations feel like hell I turn on the lights but it’s still not bright You walk in the room and I don’t feel right It’s cold and dark every time I drive to you I’m dozing off but the cold will get me through Soon there will be sunlight and it’ll be spring You don’t want to hear it but I’ll sing
