lyrics

A puff of air spilling forth, a mark above
the soil is sated with your offering of love
at the tent flap sin is crouching
biding time
you were a pioneer,
the frontier calls to you
it was always calling you.

Despite what you may think you know of me
I'm not some sequel or some hostage on his knees
if my heart stops, the world keeps spinning
and you move on
and disappear down Calumet
the dogs used to chase you as you left
now they cower in the shadows, as do I,
there's something out there, taking each of us out one by one
stay inside your foxhole 'til our deliverer has come
your anger's taking shape
watch it slough right off of you.

I must admit I saw it coming
despite that, things are only looking up
you're not the only one who profits
I remember my childhood
a figure made of cinders in my bed
I look to then and think back fondly at the mess you made
you were a prisoner
but you're not that anymore.
