Kardashev
Snow-Sleep
[Instrumental Intro]

“Wait by the river.”

“Something has changed
Something is different
I know
Where have you gone?
It’s getting dark
Was I left behind?
You’re far away!
Where have you gone?”

Fear
Child hardened by snow
Given up to the cold

“Where have you gone?
It’s getting dark.”

“Follow along the riverbed
You’ll find her waiting there
Breathe into your hands.”

She yields to the ground
White breath above
A quickly waking ghost
She knows
This is the last moon
This is the last time she’ll lie awake
Screaming out. Asking forgiveness
“Mother! Please come back!”
“What did I do?”
“Why did she leave?”
“I didn’t mean to…”
“I’ll do better, I swear!”

“Its my fault!”
“She did this to herself!”

Was I left behind?
You're far away
This is my fault
I will be fine
Where have you gone?
You're far away (mind your place)
This is my fault
I will be fine
Where have you gone?
You're far away (mind your place)
This is my fault
I will be fine
Where have you gone?
You're far away (mind your place)
This is my fault
I will be fine
Where have you gone?
You're far away (mind your place)
This is my fault
I will be fine
Where have you gone?
You're far away (mind your place)
I will be fine
Where have you gone?
