DEATH BLOWS IN LIKE A COLD BREEZE / WRAPPED IN THE CLOAK OF NIGHT / AND OCCUPIES MY MIND / IT’S NOT A COMFORTING ROUTINE / BUT IN THE YEARS THAT MARK MY LIFE / DEATH BLOWS IN LIKE A COLD BREEZE / DEATH TAKES HOLD FROM TIME TO TIME / YES / THERE’S LIFE BLOOMING AROUND ME / POLLEN ON THE WIND / PROOF THERE’S STARTS AS WELL AS ENDS / BUT WHEN IT’S DEATH TALKING LOUDLY / SITTING THERE BEHIND MY EYES / DEATH BECOMES COMPANY / DEATH TAKES HOLD FROM TIME TO TIME / FIND ME STANDING AT THE CORNER OF THE OCEAN / BREATHING IN WHAT’S LIKE A COLD ACCUMULATION / STARING OVER ALL THE WATERS OF THE EARTH AND FILLING UP WITH DARKNESS AND EVAPORATING / DEATH BLOWS IN LIKE A COLD BREEZE / TAKES HOLD IN THE CORNERS OF MY MIND / DEATH TAKES HOLD FROM TIME TO TIME
