Lyrics:
Since this distinction has emerged
The hatred is flying, flying
And we can’t seem to re-engage
The hatred is flying, flying

Some may melt
And some may converge
But the blizzard is harsh
And the drift ever deeper
The snowflakes surprisingly strong
Will replace the harsh terrain
All is new... just new

Lower and so intense
The woman is brushing the glass from her hair
The reasons to cover are veiled and opaque
So far from a simple display of intent
Weren’t you at school with my son?

Some may melt
And some may converge
But the blizzard is harsh
And the drift ever deeper
The snowflakes surprisingly strong
Will replace the harsh terrain
All is new... just new
All is new... just new
The snowflakes surprisingly strong
The snowflakes surprisingly
The snowflakes surprise
The snowflakes
The snow...
The snow...
The snow...
