Holy '57 – Canary Lyrics

I'll be a canary
Living in the tunnels where I can sense the venom
When it's all around you
I will light the fires and decorate the beakers
And I'll go first

Silent as the Alpine
My feet are getting weaker as the air is getting sweeter
Right before I pass out
Illuminate the way out and see you go first

I could light the way up for you
Venture first into the void before us
I'll be a canary bird
I could take the punches for you
Make myself into a shelter of you
I'll be a canary bird

Seasonal affective
Underneath the covers like hibernating brothers
Seven months of darkness
Tunneling the gutters and holding out for summer
And it goes on

I'll be a canary
We can fight the winter if we ration all the tinder
Countless of the shutters and sing a little song
And it goes like this

I could keep the cold out for you
Even let this day's delight on winter
I'll be a canary bird
I could taste the poison for you
Sing a siren song of safety to you
I'll be a canary bird

I could light the way up for you
Venture first into the void before us
I'll be a canary bird
I could take the punches for you
Make myself into a shelter of you
I'll be a canary bird

I could keep the cold out for you
Even let this day's delight on winter
I'll be a canary bird
I could taste the poison for you
Sing a siren song of safety to you
I'll be a canary bird
