lyrics

I take deep breath's before I step out onto the ice.
I've got a long walk to get to the next island.
My last breath may be somewhere out there,
My only option is to move from where I stand.

Look out to the sparkling ice,
Look out for our potential end.
Drowning underneath the ice,
Look out for the potential end.

Look out across the winter islands,
Look out for the sparkling ice.
Drowning near the winter islands,
Don't fall beneath the ice.

I hold my breath along the cracking ice,
Hoping I’ll make it to the next island.
My last breath is somewhere within me,
And I truly do not trust where I stand.

I’ve got some things I could say,
And i’ll say them because I’m afraid,
That there won’t be time to make it to an island,
And I’ll with all these things unsaid,

But darling you believe we will make it,
Onto the next winter Island.
