For James

Stow your eyes, there's always something to cry about
Save your mind, death it thrives in defeat

Leave the children they don't know better
Sticks and stones from lace and leather
Cleaning out the sand between the sheets

Cold sober frowns, you're older now
Listen to the warning

Is it colder on the inside (crooked house)
Is it colder on the inside (needles pound)
Is it colder on the inside (crooked how?)
Is it colder on the inside?
Hold on to me

Shed your bones, there's always marrow to keep afloat
Grind your teeth for quid between the sleeves

Leave a note for the untamed spirits
Moving up north, I'm your outer limit

21 Degrees will keep you clean

Is it colder on the inside (crooked house)
Is it colder on the inside (needles pound)
Is it colder on the inside (crooked how?)
Is it colder on the inside?
Hold on to me

Let me be
Hold on to what we leave between

Just hold on to me
