Lyrics: St. Lawrence River

Smell's on the air, see there it's crushing the final impression
The stains on the paper
Where words fell like water, unearth all the changes that never did matter
I think it's beginning to freeze here
Caught in the rage and the fire of things, all the brightness that burns me
I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark, when the nakedness comes I am shocked by the color
The glorious weight of your skin

Comes alive
And I never thought we'd make it back so soon
Might be nice, but I knew you'd be your own destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Here please forgive me, how could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness
Held in the face of the things that I don't understand, intellectualize over and over
This helplessness suits us, it's funny how quiet has slipped to our corners and worn all our edges away, you are watching, breathing and baiting, wanting and warming and cautiously waiting for some simple signal to creep cross your conscience
Uncover redemption and oh did I mention I carried you down to the St. Lawrence River
The bank's running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here
Solid by morning and I'll freeze here
Winter by morning

Comes a lie
And I never thought you'd get me back so soon
Might be nice but it's only if my own destroyer
Comes alive
And I always knew I'd make it up to you

I saw on your face such a curious grin as I let go your hand, I was desperate to hold you again
But your sinking to deep in the water, outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted
Solid by morning
What I wanted
Winter by Morning

Comes alive
And I never thought you'd make it up so soon
Might be nice, but I always knew you're my destroyer
Comes a time
And I always thought I'd make it up to you

Solid by morning
And I'll freeze here
Winter by morning
