lyrics

One of us must be Magdalene, and one of us must be Christ
One must be Antarctica and one must be the ice.
One of us must be Jekyll and the other one must be Hyde
One must be the Widower, and one the one that died.

It goes back again
Now until the end.

One must be branches when the autumn comes to call
One must be the wind that shakes the other's leaves to fall
One must be the span in which the other lives and dies
When one outlasts the other, it has not to do but cry.

It goes back again
Now until the end.

Ice All Melting:

Well I know that I've made it my mission
to assist your tired flesh across this snow
and through this winter

In the cold I've become so adept at addition
You can place me in water and watch me grow
then see me wither.

And the blankets go up across windows
and the bottles come down from the shelves
and the sunlight has given up on us
and I've lost all regard for my health
even though I've just

I've just seen the fire in your eyes
and I've seen the ice all melting

I'm alone in a room full of people
and these dudes made my friend feel uncomfortable so she left
can't say I blame her

And they keep on emitting these syllables
but tonight I will take all the hot air that I can get
even from some strangers

And I'm looking ahead to the moment
when the stale air escapes from my room
and the trees are no longer so jagged
and the nights are no longer so doomed
even though I've just

I've just seen the fire in your eyes
and I've seen the ice all melting
