where darkness is the only thing we see

and cold is all we have to breathe

where expectations keep us company

with the light we take to the outside

Verse:
it's not about the sky
or the clouds that walk all over me
they don't give up too easily these days
but when they break they go to pieces.
for a pond blood here in north set barns
under a sky that knows no stars
you'll never shine again
but you will stay.
