Thought you found the holy one
They take a little, she takes none
It's just a front after all
Oh how easy do they fall?

One by one over again
They shed a little of their skin
First you mingle, then you dance
Pull it to a safe distance

It pours outside and need a ride
Wish you hadn't gone inside
Fumble for the sidehand door
You don't want to stay no more

The handle is broke, the light is low
Brake too late and off it goes
Falling forward from the edge
Try to remember the words you read

Don't want to know
You try too hard they said
But you never want to go
Are you feet cold?
Spread your ashes all
All across the snow

All the lights are shining through
Hit you when you try to move
Know the ending, know the start
Know the place where it falls apart

The Red herring isn't fooling you
Tricket you last time, before you knew
Barrelling towards the bitter end
The climax comes, you lose a friend

Growing up and dressing down
Learn the truth and shut your mouth
It's not all what your thought it'd be
Cuts your heart so gradually

Sew it up, snip the thread
Dry the tears they make you shed
Hold the chair, slip the noose
Never forget who cut you loose

Don't want to know
You try too hard they said
But you never want to go
Are you feet cold?
Spread your ashes all
All across the snow

Confidence dies
A little everyday
You lose your way
I lose it too

I wish I was back
Safe inside instead
But I'm at a funeral for a friend

Don't want to know
You try too hard they said
But you never want to go
Are you feet cold?
Spread your ashes all-
All across the snow
