So she says come in from the rain and, well, hell

I came in from the rain

It was cold, she had room

Hell, I suppose I'm not averse to being tamed

But things go how they go and

Come the snow I was starving in my sleep

With every road away closed and a fridge full of shit that didn't keep

We stayed in, dodged our friends, did some

Drugs and our best to disappear

In self-loathe and in lust and giving

In to the easiest fears

Still the worry piled up, and I said, "Sister

We won't ever be free"

And I really made a mess of that scene after it made a mess of me

Then when the days all got shorter, I said

"It's hard to even say now who I am"

I hadn't told the truth in months, no, I'd been

Lying even to my lamb

And she said "stay tough," but, sister, it's

Hard, and I'm feeling down

'Cause I got death in my meat

And I'm tired of dragging it around

So then owing less trait to any woman

Or man than a beast

I packed up what was left of my shit in one bag to head east

Towards a love so bitter, so taxing, so sad it was alarming

And then even the good neighbor's kids, they seemed more vicious than charming

So I sat at your window like some sad old pit bull

Cocked my ears and barked at the door at any, every old sound I did hear

And stayed up long into the nights pacing

And wishing that I had been strong

'Cause I listened to my friends about this one, and on this one they were wrong

So fuck it, no more a mole in the ground or a bear in the winter

Let it be broken glass and bones

Let it be scratches and stitches and splinters

All right, tides going out, coming in and then leaving again

The moon chasing the sun after the

Moon and then it's dusk on your skin

And it's a long and difficult dance, but I think that maybe it's still good

Even though we all dance sometimes to a song that we don't love like we should

Yeah, even though we all have to dance sometimes to a song that we don't love like we should
