Extreme North Of The Compass
Bill Mallonee
[Verse 1]
Extreme north of the compass
December skies look gray and joyless
The world awaits in barren splendor
For someone to stir the embers
[Verse 2]
We are sinking into numbness
Welcoming it like an old friend
And my confidence is crumbling
Like a house of cards again
Is that the darkness you inhabit?
Well, it's a blanket 'round your shoulders
And all this vexing of the spirit
Always wake up feeling colder, oh, oh, oh
So colder
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Like a friendship never nurtured
Like a lover long forsaken
Like a liar who can no longer tell
When he's telling the truth or faking, oh, oh, oh
Or faking, oh, oh, oh, oh
Or faking, yes, oh, oh, oh
Faking
