Still Boy Lyrics

hiding out behind the birch and frozen lakes
fewer things seem clearer here and my mistakes
don't fill out the capacious bags that I dragged upstairs
gives me time to grow a love where I had fearshow long will you wait
at the shady end of the slope
am I already late
with my pyramidsized hopesstill boy holds his breath
till something appears
all dumb all deaf all turned over
to the wolvesstepping out of everything to nothingness
course at every tick of the clock
our time weighs a little lesshow long will you wait
at the shady end of the slope
am I already late
with my pyramidsized hopesstill boy holds his breath
till something appears
all dumb all deaf all turned over
still boy waves his hand

one time too many
all dumb all deaf all turned over
to the wolveslike the chickens need the fox and daylight longs for the dark
I excuse myself to go and make my markstill boy holds his breath
till something appears
all dumb all deaf all turned over
still boy waves his hand
one time to many
all dumb all deaf all turned over
to the wolves
