The Inuit Promise - Lyrics by Hum


Lyrics
I took a worn out strand of your cellophane hair and stretched it sidewaysand though my mind slipped though between the sea with memy brain stopped working from the cold
I sort of strayed from what we knowso I'll be like you and I'll do what's right
I'll win a love I don't deserve out on the ice tonite
Teach me the bluest song you know
The moon ain't comin' upand I swear to God tonite it feels like snowglad we got your hands warm so my arms can feel like trust again
I can promise true waves when the summer comeswhe world still fits the same form we engraved when it all beganmaybe catch a new wavefeels rightso we ride whales and drag race timeand knock the fires from the traces of trilobyte hivesyou sleep like God inside her womband you see clearly toothe silicon wasteland they left inside my mindglad we got your hands warmso my arms can feel like trust again
I can promise true waves when the summer comesthe world still fits the same form we engraved when it all beganmaybe catch a new wavewe've lost the road nowinject the charmsand we care for all of ours, we stand in rows nowtransfer alarmsjust like the Inuit with the promise songcome down and see
Your solvents frozen here on the petal rungis all we have to seeenlarged inside as we espythe warming sea.
Your breath diffused and never realizedaside from where tthe panicked hideand Ijust a subtle liftprovider on the other side
