"Breaking The Yearlings" lyrics

"Breaking The Yearlings"

Change
The river is blocked
The road is hot
The sky is blazing
Black smoke on the rise
The weather holds until it's on you and suddenly breaks

I curl right back into the sound
I take one breath then spiral down
And you, not watching the road
Or watching the flood stage rise
We are yearlings
Now watching the tide run out
'Till what the daylight hides
Is known

Yearlings
Now watching the tide run out
We are yearlings (I curl right back into the sound)
Feeling the blood break down

Yearlings (I take one breath then spiral down) (Change, the river is blocked)
Now watching the tide run out (the road is hot, the sky is blazing) (The weather holds until it's on you)
We are yearlings (I curl right back into the sound) (Black smoke on the rise)
Feeling the blood break down (and suddenly breaks, and suddenly breaks)

Yearlings (I take one breath then spiral down) (Change, the river is blocked)
Now watching the tide run out (the road is hot, the sky is blazing) (The weather holds until it's on you)
We are yearlings (I curl right back into the sound) (Black smoke on the rise)
Feeling the blood break down (and suddenly breaks, and suddenly breaks)
