Halloween, Alaska - A New Stain

As I live and breathe
You don't look so different to me

Lighter on your feet
But still with such a heavy head

Ten to seventeen
It didn't feel so long out here

But I was never clean
I was only trading in a stain
For a new stain

Could you feel your hands
Wrap around the memory of my neck

Of tangled ghosts
Yellowing your every inch of power

Where in would I please
But I don't sleep at ease

Its an ancient sea
And it took my peace away from me

What I wanna say
If you just let me say

What you need to know
Is what I have to tell

And when you fell
It was me who hit the ground
And when I spill
You left me empty

Mine's the kinda name you could never ever change
And mine's the kind of stain that'll never ever fade

Never ever fade...
