Verse 1

Verse 2 (0:14)

civilized,

 all our lives,

 not a breath

 the grass unmoved,

 to sleep inside the stillness

without blood,

 without air,

 all the stares

 averting eyes,

 this was what’s worse than dying

Chorus 1

0:42)

 my mind was set,

Cadd9sus4

just like the sun’s red,

 but now the sun is setting

 there have been some,

Cadd9sus4

that cut me good,

 the blood was there for letting

Verse 3

1:16)

the weekend nights,

 can change your life,

 unfold your arms

 one last surprise,

 something before we die

Chorus 2

1:31)

 our eyes are closed,

Cadd9sus4

once more will not roll,

 this killing is good killing

 despite the red

Cadd9sus4

and years and years of sinning,

 elizabeth is winning

(1:55)

bikes on dirt roads in st. andrews under pines i’d let you win

Canada is purity that has nothing to do with our skin

with our skin, with our skin

Verse 4

Verse 5 (2:40)

unrefined,

 the pitch of pines,

 grass stained shirts

 and fucked up hair,

 to breathe outside the stillness

with your blood,

 and the air,

 withstand the stares

 straighten eyes,

 we do not fear this dying

Chorus 3

3:09)

 our eyes are closed,

Cadd9sus4

once more will not roll,

 this killing is good killing

 despite the red

Cadd9sus4

and years and years of sinning,

 elizabeth is winning

 forget these lights,

Cadd9sus4

we don’t need so much explaining,

 elizabeth is winning
