Hypothermia

Lyrics

Throwing my ash
 Into a south-eastward wind
 Flint sparks fly
 It's a longer day than usual
 
 We can't wait
 We embrace so I try
 Looking around I see
 I'm sure you'll find me
 
 Crystals surround your haven
 With a chisel made of lust
 This day needs healing
 My pain needs removing
 
 Why did you leave
 Hypothermia
 Why do we grieve
 Hypothermia
 Will I tug on your sleeve
 Hypothermia
 The stories we weave
 
 Now I need a recovering embrace
 Shadowed by transparency
 Our time is static
 Everyone else is hasty
 
 It'll take you all night
 What is this strange paradox
 Trying to contact you
 You won't get back to me
 
 Crystals surround your haven
 With a chisel made of lust
 This day needs healing
 My pain needs removing
 
 Why did you leave
 Hypothermia
 Why do we grieve
 Hypothermia
 Will I tug on your sleeve
 Hypothermia
 The stories we weave
 
 Then I remember
 Ice creates an illusion
 Just like hypothermia
 You're not actually there for me
 
 Then I remember
 Ice creates an illusion
 Just like hypothermia
 You're not actually there for me
 
 Crystals surround your haven
 With a chisel made of lust
 This day needs healing
 My pain needs removing
 
 Why did you leave
 Hypothermia
 Why do we grieve
 Hypothermia
 Will I tug on your sleeve
 Hypothermia
 The stories we weave
 
 Hypothermia
 Hypothermia
 Hypothermia
 Hypothermia
