lyrics

With shoes fashioned from buckskin
We will wander in the snow
I speak to my dead loved-ones
By carving words in my windows
And it's here I found you dancing
Wrapped up in animal pelts
It's here I'll find you lying
In a grave meant for someone else

Behold the stag slaughtered in the snowy field
His skull now the home of a cricket's family

All apostles and apostates
Gather where your soul now haunts
And from words, we've all abstained
All gathered in a seance

Behold the lovers crawling on all fours
The place where my flesh was inserted into yours

And we pained our mother the same way and we came from the same orifice
And gathered sticks and twine to build our wooden fortress
My brother and I
My brother and I

We had our birthday and then one more, and then we'd have another
Time crafted a wedge that would divide me and my brother
What is and will be, will always come to pass
But our wooden fortress will forever last

Scolded by my father for torturing a cricket
And ever since the day, I have begged him for forgiveness
My father and I
My father and I
And I captured the badger that slaughtered all our chickens
And he handed me a gun I could not bring myself to kill it
What is and will be, will always come to pass
But the mercy my dad taught me will forever last

I see you as a child
Cradled in the antlers of a deer
And I was the spotted fawn
Staring up in white-tail jealousy
When you are the sun, and I am the moon
All the light I make
All the light I make; It comes from you

And the things I hate the most about you
Are the things I hate the most about me too
As leaves whisper the names of black ghosts within the branches
You are Rubin Pritchard falling down upon your hatchet

As I watch this pond water freeze for my eighteenth time
I fear that your life ended as soon as you gave me mine
Your breath will fade and your body will turn to ash
But your memory, in me, forever lasts
