lyrics

People claw back into the light to warm them-
-selves on the bitter shine of a winter sun,
And I'm no different kind than anyone.

Heap, what's this looks out from underneath
I don't know.
Neat, What's the difference you can't keep it this way
I don't know.
Stern, though the rules are not what you have learned
You can't know

I can't take the winter sun.
The bitter shine calls me.
Claw back into bitter shine, son.

Flesh, out the guts of this shame you hold so dear
Starts to show.
Clash, with the sense of self you think makes you so great
Mask gets cold.
