lyrics

Before the snow arrives to coat the tracks,
to cover all the months mistakes-
misfortunes, mishaps, bad luck and bad breaks,

And until trees of green let me relax,
the falls won’t kill, but the impacts...
And darling, what a mess that makes.

And every break now is such a thrill.
And waiting for you has made me ill.
I am the last known coordinates of your sinking free will.
I am the one sin you have left to fulfil.

Paint me a picture, I’ll make you a mix tape.
Throw down your bread crumbs, and we’ll fake our escape.
But she wasn’t holding the gun when she was shot,
now what appears to be is not.
But it’s time to turn around.
Troy is calling you home.

I might have followed you (from home)
but I’m the heir-apparent to the throne
of the unknown,
a full-blown, full-grown drone.

But we live too far north.
The light’s gone, night’s long, wind’s strong,
so long.
Oh god,
and the forty-second parallel shrugs and turns away.

And every break now is such a thrill.
And when the wreckage is totalled, I’m sending you the bill.
I am the last known coordinates of your sinking free will.
I am the last crime you will ever fulfil.

Paint me a picture, I’ll make you a mix tape.
Throw down your bread crumbs, and we’ll fake our escape.
But she wasn’t holding the gun when she was shot,
now what appears to be is not.
But it’s time to turn around.
Troy is calling you home.

We all need things that shoot.
We all need things to shoot.
We all need people that shoot.
We all need people to shoot.

Find a way, find it all, find the truth and stalk the ground.
Hide the way, hide it all, hide the truth and turn around.
