lyrics

And we’re row, rowing down,
Rowing down the river
Snowflakes melt fast
As they touch the surface

Try not to tip the canoe
Your hair will get soaked
If you rock the boat

It is river skies just like these
That confuse people into thinking that there is a God
I never really wanted to believe
So I’m dying alone

Rapids throw
Dying alone

Once the ripples grab me and they
Take my breath
A sheet of ice over head
Puts me to rest

Looking up at the light
Black ring shrinking around my sight
But if I stay deep
Nothing can disturb this sleep

For eight winter months they're frozen in place
They never sank lower or aged
The fish frozen still and they will not remember right now
Until sun beams melts them out of their winter shells

So try not to tip the canoe
Your hair will get soaked
If you rock the boat

Underneath the ice, I can see right through it
Underneath the ice, I don’t feel like moving, Ice will stop the bruising
Underneath the ice, I can see right through it
Underneath the ice, I don’t feel like moving, Ice will stop the bruising
I don’t feel like moving

Can you let me know
When it’s safe
To go outside

Now is the moment
To stop this bedroom
From wilting my life
