into the snow

all my friends, they fall through the snow
it must be their faces i know
when i close my eyes cuz the light makes me blind
i can go

oh come on, please don't test me today
i'm so tired of the roles we all play
you can keep your warm beds
the space heaters can stay
but i go

all this whiteness is the colour of our bones
and the cold sunshine our new home
me and my friends wander into the snow
without maps and without telephones

it's adventure that screams in my ears
i'm not moved by false words or false fears
my life's paused for the moment
i've wasted three years
i can go

we walk slow, we act quick, we don't know
i'm convinced that our path's like the crow's
when the wind takes our blood temperature
to a new low
we can go

and this whiteness is the colour of our bones
and the cold sunshine our new home
me and my friends wander into the snow
without maps and without telephones
