[Intro]
(sorrow bringer)

[Chorus]
Mists coat the lake while the afternoon dies
Pills by his side, but the drugs don't even get me high
Of late, I'm barely getting by
Just hold me close and try again
An old man told me that the key to this life is hiding your fear and rarely ever speaking your mind
Just save the words for when you die
You'll learn just what they really meant

[Verse]
Fire watch notice
The permafrost is broken
The bright burn of cedar blinds the people of the forest
My love, you can't ignore it as the sky is lit golden
The damage here is massive, but the aftershock is gorgeous
Now the boreal is cleansed, and it is lined with dead tourists
And everything's a target when you've spent a life mourning
Now the blood is turned blue, and brittle bones provide harvest
The plants begin feeding, and the humans start marching
We starve at night and feed in the morning
I wake back up, and the sky is stuck storming
I'm not much, but I could try my hardest
This song spells treason, you left me broken-hearted (Success)
Now her message lights screens inside the darkness
And now I'm touched that you thought of me regardless
'Cause we got two choices, and I'm worried both are pointless
The same phone calls, but I don't recognize the voices (What changed?)
[Bridge]
If I become soil, would you become dirt?
And could we lock hands while we married to the Earth?
Oh, while these roots wrap their base over top of our form
And my body is forever laid safe in your arms
And in this fire watch notice, I will lay in its torrent
In wait of the sounds, I will place in its roaring
In this fire watch notice, I'm gasoline-soaken
Dancing in its flame, I am bathed in its orange

[Chorus]
Mists coat the lake while the afternoon dies
Pills by his side, but the drugs don't even get me high
Of late, I'm barely getting by
Just hold me close and try again
An old man told me that the key to this life is hiding your fear and rarely ever speaking your mind
Just save the words for when you die
You'll learn just what they really meant
