The Arctic Surge

I've got this sinking feeling that now that our eyes are capital letters,

the arctic surge won't make it better.

Your father burned the house down years ago,

and your mother's still smiling in the ashes,

swearing nothing happened.

Oh,

God knows what brought us here.

I know our love is engineered and we're too far gone to try to steer.

So,

God knows how many years til we disappear,

til our worst fears quit whispering in our ears.

So you would spend the whole night,

yeah,

you would spend the whole night,

yeah,

you would spend the whole night,

but you would never sleep,

you would never sleep.

So you would spend the whole night,

yeah,

you would spend the whole night,

but you would never sleep,

yeah,

you would never sleep,

you would never sleep.

Whatever's running through our veins,

what's got us swerving through the lanes can't save you from the screams when you come home,

when you come home.

But the chemicals in your purse have brought our bodies closer,

and we forgot when morning comes,

we'll be alone,

we'll be alone.

Oh,

it's not strong enough,

it's not strong enough.

It's never strong enough,

is it?

Our blood was never strong enough for this shit,

for the ghosts that keep our tired eyes open.

We were never strong enough for this shit,

so you would spend the whole night,

yeah,

you would spend the whole night,

yeah,

you would spend the whole night,

but you would never sleep,

you would never sleep.

So you would spend the whole night,

yeah,

you would spend the whole night,

but you would never sleep,

yeah,

you would never sleep,

yeah,

you would never sleep,

yeah,

you would never sleep.

Whatever's running through our veins,

what's got us swerving through the lanes can't save you from the screams when you come home,

when you come home.

But the chemicals in your purse have brought our bodies closer,

and we forgot when morning comes,

we'll be alone,

we'll be alone.

So we drowned that sinking feeling,

yeah,

we made do,

we always seem to.

But when you come down,

yeah,

whenever you come down,

it'll be there waiting for you.
