once you pulled the trigger I only got sicker
I been tumbling down through rows of crooked teeth
thought I could sleep it away, so i slept in every bed in town
I been throwing rocks at boarded up windows
everybody’s saying that the winter’s closing in
I’m trying hard to hate you but my body won’t submit
every night i tear apart your soft and sorry skin
and fall upon your body as the snowfall locks us in
to the tiniest circles
and the cruelest words pour out in little silver rings
only fools submerge them
turn your house upside down it’ll never be the same
it’ll never be the same
everybody’s saying that the winter’s closing in
I’m trying hard to hate you but we’re siblings now in sin
every night i sink into your lost and holy skin
and awake entangled over-warm and abandoned
