lyrics

Left for a fort night on my own
Skinny in the kitchen with a dead knife moving slow
So come down with me I wanna save your soul
Skinny was the living
When the living room has gone cold

Singing I am the will of what won't grow old
both tired in trying when the tide's gone home

Slept for a fort night in the snow
Patience was a virtue with the limits i did not know
So lay down me and these creaking bones
Kissing in the kitchen
We'll stave off the winter's cold

Singing I am the will of what won't grow old
both tired in trying when the tide's gone home

Wishing underground but lately it's gotten old
Collared by this crown so baby I'll cede control
Carried all the wounds when you stood under the toe
Now you're missing what your mind in the mirror once saw as gold

Singing I am the will of what won't grow old
both tired in trying when the tide's gone home
