My Avalanche

Here comes the thunder again

To shake that solid sun into grains of sand

That'll bury me or slip right through my hands

My avalanche

I feel the shake of loosening ground

Like some hollowness turned into sound

Like something high and heavy

Come unwound

Now bearing down

Yet still I keep a vacancy

And lights on after dark

So she can find me half resigned and wind me back to start

Like I got some kind of halfway heart

Again I hear it rush from behind

Like it's come to slow me down at double time

Stop me in my steps, freeze me mid-climb

Then press rewind

Yet still I keep a vacancy

And lights on after dark

So she can find me half resigned and wind me back to start

Like I got some kind of halfway heart

Ever since the beginning began

There's always been this kind of bad, bad man

And in the mirror I've been seeing more of him

My avalanche
