Extreme North of the Compass Songtext
von Vigilantes of Love

Extreme north of the compass
December skies looked gray and joyless
World awaits in barren splendor
For someone to stir the embers
The embers, oh oh oh oh
We are sinking into numbness
Welcoming it like an old friend
And my confidence is crumbling
Like a house of cards again
You know the darkness we inhabit


It′s a blanket 'round my shoulders
All this vexing of the spirit
Always wake up feeling colder, oh oh oh
So colder
Like a friendship never nurtured
Like a lover long forsaken
Like a liar who can no longer tell
When he′s tellin' the truth or faking, oh oh oh
Or faking, oh oh oh oh
Or faking you, oh oh oh, faking
