The Cold Stark North East by Caethua Lyrics

We drove into the night
Open caverns leaking light
The colour was healing to your eyes
It made you feel like you were never alive

Yet it was only the dead square midwest
Flat land cut from a magazine found in the street

We packed up the car and headed west
With all our belongings like that we were gone
To the pacific to find the sea
The language of cities
Modеrn, obscene

And therе it was only the cruel wet northwest
Mountains and rivers cut like the violent throws of
A boxer's hands

Our hearts took us back near where I was born
Mine in the snow and yours in mine
The ice and the black shells
The weeds and worn faces
The quiet the end of sharing our lives
And here it is sudden, the stark old northeast
Fallen down mills rusted fishing boats left to the cold
Your friends are my friends so why do I feel so alone?
It's perfectly silent I can feel the winter in my bones
