lyrics

I've been going north.

Land of ice and cold... layer your clothes, don't you know?
Long, long dark roads, going away from home.
Stars, stars
so bright, not drowned out by the city lights,
just me,
and the night.

I've been going north,
don't ask me why, 'cause I can't tell.
There's movement in my bones, so maybe
maybe I'm not in control.

I've been going north,
fleeing sun
walking to cold and tundra.
And after all, it's been
a couple years
since I been here.
Inside my mind the perfect time is always near.

I've been going north.

Death is awful close, don't you know?
Listen to him whisper hello.
It's kind of hard to see, am I a piece
of a bigger picture? Probably.

No, I won't pretend that it all makes sense
that's why I'm out here
in total blankness.
