lyrics

i left the sand for a land full of snow
why i left i don't know
she left me for a tall and skinny man
will she come back? hell i doubt so

i dreamt that i was the king of the sun
when i awoke it was dark and cold
standing in flames and it didn't burn me none
i awoke to a cruel joke

i pulled my covers up over myself and my cat
we tried to sleep through the night
but i kept waking up with pictures in my head
i kept waking up with fright

i know that you don't want me anymore
sorry i didn't want this from the start
we grew together like to crooked stalks of corn
fake breaking up is hard

i know i'm not okay and i'm okay with that
mostly i'm full of fear
and it's been several weeks since we last called us back
what will become of this year?

i know that you wish you could stand up alright
i wish you were in the sea
swimming far swimming deep up in the sky
put your mind at ease

i drove my car down to the riverbank
up to my knees i did sink
into a pool of my own dirty sin
where do you start where do i end?
