Lyrics

days going downhill & my will has grown thinner
they're fishing her body now, from deep in the river
sad subject compromise, drains the white from my eyes
and I'll be the first one to admit it

snowfall it froze my mind, left only ice behind
that ice ran through thoughts of redemption
just frozen red bloodstains & gilded ankle chains
a snowman in my lonely kitchen

We swam against such tide-my pain & all your pride
we could not dry our skin to save our lives
you said I made no sense
contempt and all pretense
and so I held you underwater

there is a sailor's knot that holds the sin I brought
and sunk it with a rock deep in the river
I left a note to you - of all I tried to do
and you can take that note to heaven

I'm opening the door, the snow blows on the floor
they'll find me here inside my coffin
but answers won't be found, just questions left to drown
and now I'm on my way to you.
