sitting here alone at this one stop train station
with nothing to keep my mind at bay
but the smiles on stranger's faces and the moment when i saw your eyes
peering through that frosted window
i swear i felt this scarf tighten around my neck
and now it seems that i dont even have to try to keep your little mouth shut
and you know that i would do almost anything just to hear you scream
and break this haunting silence at the top of your lungs
but breaking the silence with you is like pulling my teeth out
so we are spending this years holidays alone nothing to keep us warm
but the water that burns in our guts
and we can count the doves as one by one their lovers fall,
crashing into the ground..exploding in the air,
as the earth opens up beneath to swallow their empty corpses.
