lyrics

Frozen in caterwaul, dusting and shaking into waterfalls of carbon all along Interstate-Infinity, their faces don't effect our affinity for falling in love.

Taking photographs for photograph's sake, we have to document this nothingness to keep ourselves awake. We finger autographs into ashes, we have to feel actual and observable to prove to ourselves that we still exist. But oh, how we miss the Television's white-noise hiss.

(Snow, white snow. Fall white snow.)

Time is our last asset, it's all we have left to lose. We turn over the hourglass, see how long we last, see how long we can pull though.

(Sand, white sand. Fall white sand. Ash-stained hand, take my hand.)

Put on your bathing suit, let down your hair and wave it like you don't care. We know the ocean will freeze our legs but we are gonna swim anyway.

(We don't care.)
