Verse 1

sickly surrender to

cola remember machines

shaky somnambulist shiver

out all your screams

go to the room with the

chair and wait for your life

scared that the voices i

hear may never be mine

Verse 2

seven december a paper

back letter recalls

you knew such happiness crashing

her loveliness one wedded fall

cutting through gray where you're

holding the pages amazed

cutting the picture to

ribbons in winter parades

Chorus 1

cold new dawn put something on

you're thinking faster than i run

now the more i get connected

the less i know who i am

and it feels like i'm the only one

Verse 3

the month has gone rabbits the

winter is taking my life

am i a passenger passing through

scenes in someone else's life

cold will outlast me

apartments are castles in space

warm with the void holding

court in a four poster grave

Chorus 2

pale new dawn put something on

i hate the shape of things to come

now the more we get connected

the less i know who you are and

i dont' think you thought that far

Bridge

they gave you a food stamp

for the air sucking

wound in your chest

all the best all the best

Intelrude: --------

Verse 4

strange pale fighter you

only grow lighter in time

willfully silent declaring yourself

with your cold scribbled rhyme

making her find you beneath

all the skin of your mind

she's digging towards nothing

a hollowed out center in time

Chorus 3

pale new dawn put someone on

i hate the shape of all you want

now the more you get connected

the less i get who you are

but i don't want to think that hard

Outro

it's a lonely way to live

when you take what you

give and you don't give in

in a nation of promises

your anonymous promises
