Never Arrives

Verse 1

White

The frost

Hardened heavy hollow dirt

I drag my hem through the ice

Frozen

Feet numb

Silver breath

Everything stops

Cold

Chorus

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

The iron gates are locked forever

The garden died in the storm

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

Post-Chorus

Oh

The glass

The glass

Falling down

Verse 2

Grey

No sun

Birds are gone

Silence screams louder than crows

Cracked skin

Biting wind

The marble saint is weeping salt

Broken

Tired

Lost hope

Nothing grows here

Chorus

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

The iron gates are locked forever

The garden died in the storm

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

Solo Violin

Chorus

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

The iron gates are locked forever

The garden died in the storm

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

Bridge

Under the lake

Under the ledge

Under the snow

I see your face

I reach for you

I call for you

But the water is stone

But the water is stone

Chorus

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

The iron gates are locked forever

The garden died in the storm

Wait for the thaw that never arrives

Outro

Sleeping

Just sleeping

Beneath the drift

Wait for the thaw

Wait for the thaw

It never arrives
