It's thawing
And melting the ice
White goats are grazing on the mountainside
It's golden
Blinded by the sight
Of the water
Moving in the last of the light
I used to think that I
Was running from the night
But I’ve been following behind
The light, all this time
It can’t hurt me
It's still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
The warmth is coming back and now, no
It can’t hurt me
It’s still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
Moving slowly, tracking laughter through the trees
The sound of the safety that’s evaded me
The calling of the birds
The warmth returns
To my extremities
Long dead from freezer burn
Moving softly on my feet
I thought it ran from me
But the beckoning sunbeams
Are nearly in reach
Nearly in reach
It can’t hurt me
It's still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
The warmth is coming back and now, no
It can’t hurt me
It’s still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
It can’t hurt me (it was bitter)
It's still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
(The cruel winter)
The warmth is coming back and now, no
It can’t hurt me
(Hear it whisper)
It’s still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
(Hear it whisper)
In the clearing
I reached it
With hands out like a child
Lifting up to eat it
I ate up all the light
And it shone through my teeth
And I tasted sunbeams
Emanating from me
From me, from me
In the clearing
I reached it
With hands out like a child
Lifting up to eat it
I ate up all the light
And it shone through my teeth
And I tasted sunbeams
Emanating from me
From me, from me
It can’t hurt me
It's still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
The warmth is coming back and now, no
It can’t hurt me
It’s still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
It can’t hurt me (it was bitter)
It's still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
(The cruel winter)
The warmth is coming back and now, no
It can’t hurt me
(Hear it whisper)
It’s still there but it can’t now the warmth’s returning
(Hear it whisper)
I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
I do not normally cry because of music, or fiction in general. Chords made me cry. Every time I listen to it, it still feels like a warm, tight goodbye hug.
But it isn't what convinced me to buy this album, because damn, I knew I would right from the start of Secret Worlds, and knew it ever more at every song. The way the songs here can combine to tell a whole new story, and even reference others from The Horror and the Wild, is just magnificent. Mayana

Picking a favorite track for this album is honestly so tough. This is truly one of my favorite albums ever. I wish I could put into words how marvelous I find it, but I'm afraid my way with words isn't half as impressive as the lyrics to be found in it. ruin and Love Run also continue to amaze me, even years later, but The Horror and the Wild just holds a special place in my heart. All I can properly say is, thank you for this masterpiece. :-) <3 baowzi
