We're slowing down We're in the stasis now Winter has come drinking the warmth from our bones

So pry open our eyes to find mountains on both sides sit patient like jaws We brace for them but never move
Hot breath in the air and scavengers in the streets with bottles in hand and nothing to do but consume themselves

Just pick a direction and we'll go so far I'm so sorry but it's not safe here Just pick a direction and we'll go so far Just say it and we'll go, we'll go there
There's no sleep, just atrophy We're not waking up tonight Our bodies turn like leaves and it's not my place to tell you what you need

So pry open our eyes to find something is not right You're fight to move The longer you wait the further it falls from you You stop trying to reach
And I know it's cold outside You've got to take it all in stride because through that door madness scratches

You wait there You wait there

It's loud and bright with washed out, dead starlight it takes it pittance right through the skin, right through the body
As sirens cut and our bodies reconstruct Don't ask me why but somehow we work and somehow it's better

Why did you wait there
