St. lawrence river (live) Lyrics

Smells on the air
see there its crushing
the final impression
the stains on the paper
where words fell like water
unearth all the changes that never did matter
I think its beginning to freeze here

Caught in the rage and the fire of things
all the brightness that burns me
im fumbling through like a child in the dark
when the nakedness comes
i am shocked by the colour
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 never 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
funny how quiet
it slipped to our corners
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 banks running dirty
the waters beginning to freeze here; solid by morning
and i'll freeze here; it's winter by morning

yea yea

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
don't have time
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 you're sinking
to deep in the water
outsmarted myself and so easily
gave up what i wanted

solid by morning
what i wanted
it's winter by morning

yea yea

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

and i'll freeze here
it's winter by morning
