Snow fell lightly down,
But you didn’t notice it
‘Til it moved past the light
Forest and the fields,
A golden halo set
Reflected on the trees

The water froze up
On the roof of our house
And rolled down the sides
And the smooth, frigid spikes
Just reached for the ground
But the only way to get down there
Would cause their body to break

The moon smiled down on us
To tell us it’s okay,
But he’s far enough away
That the only thing he can
Make out are the stars,
The mountains, and the lakes
How naïve the sky,
Paints itself so bright
Not knowing all the while
We crawled out of the cave
We pulled out all its guts
To see what we could make

You told me you see
The same thing every night
You toss and you turn
As you’re sinking beneath
And you say you’re scared to death
Of what is gonna happen
If you stay too long
Well I wait by your side,
Stay with you all night,
But your eyes never close
And you shake and you scream
And you gasp for air
As you’re falling asleep
And I grab you so hard
That I bruise both your arms
And the sun is the sun,
And the weeds are just weeds

This will only take a second
Take you to the cemetery

Can’t help but think every night
What could have been if we’d found her alive
Can’t help but feel it inside
What did he do to you, you poor, helpless child?

We walked so deep into the woods
That we could not remember how to get back
A golden halo set thirty feet above
They said it would be okay
There is an ocean beneath the ground
Where the blood runs rapidly. If you look close enough
You can see it seeping up around you and me
As we sit ‘til we freeze in the snow, in the trees
