Lyrics

window paine around my heart
shadow stream around my heart

do what you're gonna do
and say what you're gonna say
do what you're gonna do
yeah, start today
start today

wind blows shame around my heart
shadows scream around my heart

what are you coming to?
stripped down to the bone
life ain't living on your own
all alone

do what you're gonna do
and say what you're gonna say
do what you're gonna do
yeah, start today
start today
