Blade runner

(Verse 1)

I dreamt of a fever, a burning in the veins

Something to thaw the frost that’s settled in my brain

A summer sun to melt the ice that holds my heart

To burn away the reasons why I’m falling apart

But the tears are frozen on the cheek, I can’t tell where they begin

The reasons for the living are burned to ash within

(Chorus)

I’m walking through the white where the shadows don't return

A blade runner staring at a world that doesn't burn

The cabin in the snow with the ghosts inside the wall

I’m waiting for the freezing to make it all end small

Just let me lie down, let the heavy white weight crush

The only warmth I know is getting lost in the dust

(Verse 2)

I plunge into these twisted months with nothing to see

No guiding light to follow, no compass in the tree

I’d follow anything pulling me into the dark

Just get me out of this place, break this heavy heart

They said six months to adapt, then two more to leave town

But I’m still here shivering in the absolute dawn

Even if I learn to breathe in this thin, cold air

They still won't want me there, they’ll never care

(Bridge)

I fell for the lie that I had a purpose here

A reason to remain, a reason to be near

But the fire’s gone out and the fuel is gone too

So I reach for the bottle, the cheap and burning brew

To keep my blood moving in this absolute zero

To kill the memories that keep me slow

(Guitar Solo - Slow and mournful)

(Outro)

Yeah, kill the memories.

Just stay warm.

The snow is falling.

Winter set heart.

Just let me freeze.
