Lyrics

Somewhere, through the frozen fields, somewhere, beneath your pale and tender skin, lies a house, absorbing fear and pain - solar, red, contained - feeding on my dreams. somewhere cold, inside the optic wire, down where fingers and semen crack and bleed - there I will be, with my arms spread out and broken, waiting for your breath, to animate my veins. we're not alone: all our thoughts are numbered - malignant and cold, animal and hungry. but I will contain all, that ever was or will be, then I'll watch my skin erupt, in a symphony of flames - screaming out your name, screaming out your name... why can't I hide inside your malleable, electric face? you'd suck away the pain, and swallow down my sickest dreams. now my body feels like snow, spilling out the shattered screen - where will we be then, when all the fear and blood are gone, drained into one hundred million open children's mouths - screaming out your name, screaming out your name
