about

This is probably a song about disappointment and New Year's.

lyrics

A year to go for another count and ring the new one in without
A pair to glimpse, a hold to head, no, another headcold, frayed eclipse
I’d throw me out
Into the cold where they sell warmth and offer us new chandeliers
And chimney tops can’t hold the weight of my old burdens, gone to sleep
No, you’ll be nothing… nothing!

Let in the pierce of night’s cold flow
And tease the rain, but not when it’s slowed
Dampen your shoes with sorrow’s hearth
I’ll tease the lights, for they won’t rebirth

A tampered note pinned to the sleeves detailing all of our precious things
We set ablaze its borrowed eyes and watch it thunder towards the skies
That note is me
When days and weeks and months go by, when all but me is new again
This heart of bread will tear apart its only thread it’s left to art
Say hello in spring

Let in the pierce of night’s cold flow
And please the rain, only when it’s slowed
Dampen your shoes with sorrow’s hearth
And I’ll tease the lights, for they won’t rebirth

Now hear the pounding on the pans to equal what each finds in bed
And at the drop, each kiss will sleep with others they know, love, and keep
I’ll walk for miles
Until the legs can’t hold the rest and with the cage, come trembling down
Onto the knees with nerves stripped dull and lips cut dry and empty-souled
I love my life…

Let in the pierce of night’s cold flow
We’ll please the rain only when it’s slowed
Lower your brow in sorrow’s hearth
I’ll tease the lights, for they won’t leave Earth
Let in the pierce of night’s cold flow
And tease the rain, but not when it’s slowed
Dampen your shoes with sorrow’s hearth
And I’ll tease the lights, for they won’t rebirth
