lyrics

I found you upside down in the grass
You made a face that would always last
In the back of an eye
Can’t escape it if you try.

And we fall to what we thought was random
A frost that we cannot fathom
And time wears down our bones

Wind rends you thread by thread till you’re bare
From strand to root by which you’re insnared
And they will pull you deeper down
As your life becomes their crown

Stand forgotten are your ways
You disappear beneath the things that you’ve raised
But are you ever truly gone?
As you are passed on anon

And we fall to what we thought was random
A frost that we cannot fathom
And time wears down our bones

Beware the words you say—they’re likely to betray
Beware the words you say—they might come back to you one day
Be you kind or filled with hate; be you malicious; be you great
Watch your mouth you’re tempting fate.

And we fall to what we thought was random
A frost that we cannot fathom
And time—it stops for no one
A flawless force, that we can’t out run.
And time wears down our bones.
