Maidin - Permafrost Lyrics

Whose woods these are I think I know
But I heard he moved back to Brooklyn
So he won't see me come and go
And you won't even catch me looking
I feel sun bleached, and snow blind, and so far from your mind.

I think I've walked this beat before
A hundred or a thousand ways
But still I'm wanting so much more
And still I'm numbering my days
And I'm sun bleached, and snow-blind and so far from your mind.

So I've been following the trailblazers before me
Searching for a sign in every twisted, rotting vine
That one day you might bother to ignore me
While you've kept fifteen steps ahead and I am breathless
With my ear to the ground I'll be listening for sounds
From the sweet and distant rumble of your footsteps
And the permafrost is starting to burn

I'm sailing down an icy creek
I know it well, its twists and bends
The more I look the less I seek
The more I move the less this ends
And I'm sun bleached and snow blind and still haven't crossed your mind

So I've been following the trailblazers before me
Searching for a sign in every twisted, rotting vine
That one day you might bother to ignore me
While you've kept fifteen steps ahead and now I'm breathless
With my ear to the ground I'll be listening for sounds
From the sweet and distant rumble of your footsteps
And the permafrost is starting to burn
And now I've lost more than I could ever learn

I'll never learn
I'll never learn
I'll never learn
I'll never learn
I'll never learn

'Cause I've been living off of breadcrumbs
And I've been walking on two dead stumps
And I've spent all my time and then some
But still I can't admit defeat
And I've got miles and miles to go before I sleep
