about

// because you took the punches for me //

lyrics

i'll be your canary
living in the tunnels where i can sense the venom
when it's all around you
i will light the fires and decorate the beacons
and i'll go first
silent as the alpine
my feet are getting weaker as the air is getting sweeter
right before i pass out
i'll illuminate the way out
and see you go first

i could light the way up for you
venture first into the void before us
i'll be your canary bird
i could take the punches for you
make myself into a shelter over you
i'll be your canary bird

seasonal affective
underneath the covers like hibernating brothers
seven months of darkness
tunnelling the gutters and holding out for summer
and it goes on
i'll be your canary
we can fight the winter if we ration all the tinder
canvas all the shutters
and sing a little song
and it goes like this

i could keep the cold out for you
be the lamp that stays alight all winter
i'll be your canary bird
i could taste the poison for you
sing a siren song of safety to you
i'll be your canary bird
