Destroyer - Dead Man Winter

Little paper, where you write down your disappointments

In a drawer right by your pillow, all I can do is watch

Little children, more beautiful than heaven

They run around together, while I just curl up and cough

There were the oak trees and they were older than I remember

They are changing with the seasons and I will do the same

Yeah it’s over and it hurts like hell to say it

But I’m churning under water, what a peaceful way to go

And all of the boxes, that are filled with my possessions

On the truck that I have hired, it’s outside beneath the snow

I thought I’d get up and go, before anyone would know

I’m a disaster, I am fading from your young life

I’m growing pale and ghost white, with X’s on my eyes

I’m a Destroyer, I’m burning in the starlight

All I wanted then was to die, but you would not let me go
