lyrics

I tried standing on the edge, I’d pray to god and concentrate
I thought that if I tried real hard, maybe I could fly away.
I closed my eyes and felt I was riding the waves of air
But when I opened them up, I was only standing there

I tried burning midnight oil, hiding from the light of day
Thought that if I could be invisible
Neither black nor white but grey
I feared for loneliness but I couldn't build my fort that way
So I drew an airline ticket
Greenland may there I stay

I performed exactly how
A person would when one was young
I was completely self-absorbed
But feeling insignificant
My open door had come but I
Left one foot on the other side
I felt a wind come in and I could not but help abide

Well it's freezing in my mind and I want to be outside
In Greenland
I can feel it like a chill, the whole world stands still
In Greenland
Now it's raining in my mind but I want to go out side in
Greenland (I've got niphablepsia, I need anesthesia)

I cried and wiped away the tears
stumbled then got up again
I walked a million miles more
but ended up where I began

Well it's freezing in my mind and I want to be outside
In Greenland
I can feel it like a chill, the whole world stands still
In Greenland
Well it's snowing in my mind and I feel I'm going blind
In Greenland
Frost is on the windowsill, maybe none of this is real
In Greenland

Meeting a couple of guitar playing lesbians at karaoke led Tait to form the band Shitting Glitter with Amy Crosby and Von Edwards. After nearly a decade with the band, Tait decided it was time to branch out on his own. ... more
