So I followed it in, it was too late to retreat
The lands we tried to memorize
Everything was blown so far away
The winds were like a beast with wings and yes
And I can't look back now 'cause the beast has come clean
And even though New England intrigued us, thrilled us
The winds were like a beast with wings and yes
And bit my neck and said it'd be okay
Our bones were cold as stick and stones
We flew over the cascades
I crossed some standard state lines
I finally found myself so far away from home
It swallowed me whole and my flesh became meat
Even after hours of waiting
And the beauty of its overwhelming strength
There was no telling when the storm would find its way
Everything was blown so far away
And through the night the storm held me down
We flew over the cascades
Just to find ourselves in storms we've never known
I stared into the fury
Were no longer wrapped in tepid shades of red
I saw a dim light in the mouth of the beast
And I fell down, I failed to cut its neck
And I fell down, I failed to cut its neck
