[Intro] The ice keeps names It does not keep secrets [Verse 1] We came here to measure the winter It measured us instead A visitor in a borrowed shape Walked the hall like it belonged Every face at the table Could be a doorway Every handshake Could be a theft [Refrain] It wants our skin Not our souls It wants our skin Not our prayers It learns the laugh It learns the limp It sits in your chair And answers to your name [Verse 2] Trust became a ration We spent it anyway A test that still leaves doubt A fire that still leaves questions Two men in the last light Neither sure of the other The storm does the talking The campfire does the dying [Rise] Who is left Who is left Say it If you can [Refrain] It wants our skin Not our souls It wants our skin Not our prayers It learns the laugh It learns the limp It sits in your chair And answers to your name [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] No hero in the snow No clean reveal Only waiting Only weather Only the chance That the man beside you Is already gone And still grinning [Final Refrain] It wants our skin Not our souls It wants our skin And the world after that Who is left Who is left The ice will not say [Outro] The ice keeps names It does not keep secrets
