Yellowknife

A whisper, a shiver, in the air, are you there?
You’re hungry, who could blame you when we’re starving, brimming with constant
self doubt
The foam that pools in our mouths
Heaven knows
This clandestine machine, the way it clanks inside of me
The air it fills with smoke but iron lungs help me breathe
A bit of luck nowadays would never go a miss, when I’ve been diving in too deep
when all I wanted was a kiss
The snow it sits on the precipice like we do today
Our bones entombed by the avalanche, but the cold prevents decay
Inside I can make this all make sense I just lack conviction
Heaven knows
Too close to the sun, melts the wax in our wings, falling
If we’d only known, we could have gone without and just jumped
And I’m so tired of feeling sick
And being scared to go outside
I’m drenched in the tears that I’ve promised not to cry
I feel too much, I felt it all, heaven knows
And you could bring me back to life with a gesture of your hand,
but better do it quick as my half’s running out of sand
I feel too much, I felt it all, heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
