Thea Gilmore - Due South

The moon is a stain the ghost of your eyes
Drowns in a black coffee night
The snow has been singing its song to the light
Well I know a boy who breaks his own heart
Every time that it rains
There are not enough miracles and chains
To pave his road
Now he's due south
Feet on the dash of a rented car
Due south
Sometimes he dreams of his mothers eyes
Mostly he'll just curse the stars
Mostly he'll just curse the stars

Loved like a child
The weakest of ties
Bound like a crane in the ice
All of the whispers and lies that he used
If you wanted a life full of the sting and the fall
But boy you know he had it all
Traded it in for a crucible and a bruise
Now he's due south
Dreams in the hum of an alloy wheel
Due south
Bitterest sting of rubber and steel
Looking for hope in stilletto heels
Looking for hope in stilletto heels

Due south
Feet on the dash of a rented car
Due south
Sometimes he dreams of his mothers eyes
Mostly he'll just curse the stars
Mostly he'll just curse the stars
Mostly he'll just curse the stars
