lyrics

it’s said that freezing’s cool for people’s wounds
if you don’t get it you’ll fall to the ground
but it ain’t nothing that I may have found
i should’ve known…

i searched for stuff i’d never undergo
i looked for goals that i would never score
and the worst parts are still to be explored
i should’ve known…

i prayed before
aAs soon as I get there I won’t fall over”
i should’ve known…

this virgin land was built with burning ice
its main material was a bunch of lies
it’s like a plane exploding while it flies
i should’ve known…

here it’s so cold i think i’m going to freeze
my cheeks are hurting because of the breeze
i hope snow invokes the epiphany
i should’ve known…

i prayed before...
with what i’ve been...
i’m cursed to live in this antarctic city
i should’ve known…
i prayed before...
