I spent a winter there
Trying to mute my fear
But when the water opened
It was everywhere

Nowhere to shelter
No way to disappear
Too late to change the unwinding of the years
All the damage is done

Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
You can leave your sorrow in the city
But when your eyes close
You're going to feel it burn

My birthday passed
I lit a single match
Stuck it in a muffin
And had a little laugh

No celebration
No song out in the cold
No conversation about time and getting old
Just the truths you outrun

Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
All the bright lights dancing in the night
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
And the trees waiting, taciturn
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Tried to leave my sorrow in the city
But when my eyes close
I always feel it burn

I heard a sound behind me
She was standing by the shed
Saying, ‘Swept the riverbed to find you,
Parsed every word you’d said.
God, I can't believe it, I don't understand.'

I can't break the ties that bind me
You should have left me to my dread
To the shackles that confine me
To the jackals in my head
‘Cause I can't think and I can't focus
I stay high so I won’t notice
I can't sleep and I can’t feel my hands
