No Tenderness (feat. Ætervader)

First embrace after lost time
Your shoulders unusual, my arms are too long
The mountains are pressing down on us
Freeing one of us

We both cry, we always did, in this we are together
A joined flood of life cascading down our backs
You live in my skin like you always wanted
And there is no tenderness, no tenderness

Our red-gold core is alight in the snow
You're still my skin, hair and all
Our mutual cord tightening on us
Freeing none

Words are gentle but your gaze is law
