lyrics

The air outside was cold today
A little too cold
The grass is getting healthier
And our house is getting old

It's a shame the cards predict an early spring
I would've liked to see that more than anything

But I can't stay here
Any longer
Not while the visions of imminent destruction
Are growing stronger

The people of the settlement
Are finally catching on
It's an all consuming darkness
But soon will come the dawn

And when they come in numbers seeking for us
How long, you think, until they torch our forest?

See I can't stay here
Any longer
Not while the visions of unassailable chaos
Are growing stronger

I admire and respect you all
And I wanna stay kind
But if you can't feel our powers fading
Have you lost your minds?

You can see me as another heartless grifter
I will still hold vigils for you
I will still call you my sisters

I just can't stay here
Any longer
Not while the visions of psychogenic infestation
Grow stronger
