my hands know the river my hands know the river every mile as it heads to the sea every knot in the stream and I trace it each time that I dream the place where it kills me to leave I’ll draw you a picture I’ll draw you a picture I trace it each night that I dream where on the floor on this cold cold floor don’t you leave me don’t you leave me and I hear it each time that I dream

no one wins with their bones inside a box left to rot and no one can hide their secret thoughts without skins oh where is my skull? where is my skull? where is my skull? where is my skull? home is not a concept that you could ever find it will only find you when you’ve let go of all you’ve left behind and you’ve finished being broken and alone it will hold you and never think to ever let you go in the ashes and bones left in the snow I’ll never know why you’d want to take my bones across the sea oh where is my skull? where is my skull? where is my skull? where is my skull? And the ocean is much harder to convince to carry me across in this world Hope is the little lie we use to build our lives It will find you when all your friends and family have all died and there’s nothing left but mud upon the floor It will hold you when the tragedies of life knock at your door and the ending is the same for everyone

well the river was frozen and the sun was near the hillside we were hoping it was dark enough we wouldn’t have to hide stealing from the empty cabins near the frozen tide we found a hatchet, and some nails and a carving knife and we found some woolen blankets for my ailing wife and then we argued ‘bout whether we should stay here for the night but we headed back out for the camp under greying skies we were feeling pretty lucky as we carried our supplies then I heard a dog barking and a shot rang by surprise then my friend fell dead on the banks by the riverside there was nothing left to him but the expression in his eyes we were searching for a place that the trackers wouldn’t know but we were easy to follow in the heavy winter snow and the forest was sparse and there was nowhere else to go so we started across the river on the icy flows we had made it about halfway ’cross that frozen sheet stepping so fast and light through my gritted teeth but then I felt the ice give way out from underneath I felt the sharp shock of frigid knives carving up my feet and then the water went past my head within half a beat my friends were being chased by the dogs on the other side and the current had dragged me down for a final ride the ice when I got back up was too fortified now I wander the banks of the river all the time looking for the woolen blankets that I left behind and when I see a child playing outside in their winter gear I lean in close and gently whisper in their ear “you should cross the river child there’s nothing there to fear”

ashes will cover and I see you smother please stop coughing ashes keep falling the coals speak and I hear the grinding of iron gears black smoke gets inside me on my red painted sea always I sleepwalk to somewhere we can’t talk and now no one can hear us speak and understand

the sun is going down and the wind is blowin and now I’m so so cold The fires going out and now I’m so so cold we burned everything we can burn now the fires going out and I’m so so cold Take everything upon the ground and place it all upon the flames this shadow follows me around and tries to make me call it’s name and now I’m so so cold I’m so so cold I need a hot drink and a warm ghost I’m so so cold there’s a light that will only shine down me and you there’s a light that will only shine down on me and you there’s a light that no one has the eyes to see Burn all that have, all that we find and all that we leave here

light is an arrow straight to my temple light is a stone tiger summer will last forever the springtime is over with it’s horror and sorrow Life is always a seed always is something easily lost or looked over love is a hunger love can savage it can devour all around you life is an ocean without a harbour with nothing to carry you somewhere love is the ocean love is the seaweed love is the sharp rocks love is the shipwrecks
