from Tales from the Bad Years

Remember this setting.
Take in the view from above.
Mountainous,
Infinite,
Mile upon mile of the danger you love.
It’s colder than winter.
The vertigo’s starting to lift.
Don’t try to touch.
Don’t warm me too much.
You’re causing a tectonic shift.

Because I’m falling.
I’m falling.
I’m out of control.
And it feels like falling nowhere.
The sign ahead says beware.

Here comes an avalanche,
Gaining speed and ice and snow.
Beware the avalanche.
I don’t know how to let go.
I don’t know how to let go.

Don’t act like it’s simple.
Don’t say it’s nothing at all.
Balancing,
Teetering,
Pitched to the brink ’til you start to snowball.
Just skimming the surface -
Well, I dig a little too deep.
I see the cracks.
I weight all the facts.
I try to pull myself out but it’s steep -

And I’m falling.
I’m falling.
I’m out of control.
And it feels like falling nowhere.
The sign ahead says beware.

Here comes the avalanche.
Run for cover and hide or you’ll never survive me.
I am an avalanche.
You’ll never get out alive.
I don’t know how you’ll survive.

‘Cause I’m the destroyer.
I am the huntress.
I’m the lonely one,
The only one.
I am the heartbroken.
I am the unspoken.
I have nothing inside left to give.
Except for this avalanche.
Only an avalanche.
And love.
Because I’m in love.
I’m in love with you.
In love.
Love.
Love.
Love.
Love.

Here comes the avalanche,
Gaining speed and ice and snow.
We’re in an avalanche.
Teach me,
I want to let go.
Catch me -
I’m letting go.
So let it snow.
We’re in an avalanche.
It’s all an avalanche.
We are an avalanche.

And we’re falling.
We’re falling.
Falling,
Falling.
Watch out below.
