| [00:23.63] |
all the trees stood like skeletons |
| [00:28.80] |
silhouettes of spilled ink |
| [00:34.29] |
and the snows fell in sheets and got wrapped around our feet |
| [00:45.58] |
we built the fire evermore with winter beating at the door |
| [01:01.51] |
brother's eyes were getting heavier |
| [01:06.68] |
his bony hands cold and white |
| [01:12.21] |
and I could hear his ragged breathing like the wind along a knife |
| [01:23.71] |
there beside him through the night, in the hum of candlelight |
| [01:31.91] |
I no longer felt the time |
| [02:07.38] |
brother woke just after midnight |
| [02:12.65] |
and he didn't make a sound |
| [02:17.82] |
and as he climbed from out of bed with severed rings around his head |
| [02:24.99] |
his feet didn't touch the ground |
| [02:28.30] |
I could feel it then |
| [02:30.99] |
a tiny miracle |
| [02:33.37] |
so I followed him |
| [02:36.40] |
into the woods |
| [02:38.87] |
crossed beneath the trees |
| [02:41.66] |
but only I left my prints in tow |
| [02:47.15] |
he was afloat |
| [02:50.21] |
found a lonely tree |
| [02:52.93] |
and tied himself within its limbs |
| [02:58.68] |
and he said to me these words: |
| [03:00.99] |
don't you fear for me, |
| [03:03.80] |
I am where I'm supposed to be. |
| [03:11.91] |
and when I woke he was gone |
| [03:16.74] |
and I was wrapped in blankets on the lawn |
| [03:22.56] |
the sky was blue and my skin matched the hue |
| [03:27.06] |
and I could hear mother crying in your room |
| [03:32.97] |
from here on out I wear this face for both of us |
