Soft As Snow

about

Alternate version available on Seicremllams E.P.

lyrics

Soft as snow, he crushed my hopes with a gesture
Intricate, he arranged his fingers' significant poses
to simplify my understanding of current events
he told me I'd die, if I didn't fall and repent.

Dispensing with the myths of our own satisfaction
I knew your gift was to cut through that sheet of lies
We listened back and heard his voice buried in static
He threatened attack, offered no choice
Wanted adoration so bad his illusion got sloppy
We found the crack, the break in his voice
he thought us complacent when we had gone behind the curtain

Found an old man, who wanted nothing but omnipotence.
