Yellowknife - Guillotine

A whisper, a shiver, in the air, are you there?

You’re hungry, who could blame you when we’re starving, brimming with constant

self doubt

The foam that pools in our mouths

Heaven knows

This clandestine machine, the way it clanks inside of me

The air it fills with smoke but iron lungs help me breathe

A bit of luck nowadays would never go a miss, when I’ve been diving in too deep

when all I wanted was a kiss

The snow it sits on the precipice like we do today

Our bones entombed by the avalanche, but the cold prevents decay

Inside I can make this all make sense I just lack conviction

Heaven knows

Too close to the sun, melts the wax in our wings, falling

If we’d only known, we could have gone without and just jumped

And I’m so tired of feeling sick

And being scared to go outside

I’m drenched in the tears that I’ve promised not to cry

I feel too much, I felt it all, heaven knows

And you could bring me back to life with a gesture of your hand,

but better do it quick as my half’s running out of sand

I feel too much, I felt it all, heaven knows

Heaven knows

Heaven knows

Heaven knows
