A glacier (UK /ˈɡlæsiə/ GLASS-ee-ər or US /ˈɡleɪʃər/ GLAY-shər) is a large persistent body of ice that forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries. At least 0.1 km² in area and 50 m thick, but often much larger, a glacier slowly deforms and flows due to stresses induced by its weight. Crevasses, seracs, and other distinguishing features of a glacier are due to its flow. Another consequence of glacier flow is the transport of rock and debris abraded from its substrate and resultant landforms like cirques and moraines. Glaciers form on land, often elevated, and are distinct from the much thinner sea ice and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water.
The word glacier comes from French. It is derived from the Vulgar Latin glacia and ultimately from Latin glacies meaning ice. The processes and features caused by glaciers and related to them are referred to as glacial. The process of glacier establishment, growth and flow is called glaciation. The corresponding area of study is called glaciology. Glaciers are important components of the global cryosphere.

McMorrow retreated to the safety of his parent's house and started to re-educate himself as a musician and a songwriter, using the family piano to piece the jigsaw together.

you're on your head
and you've been there all the wile
and if you'd stand up now
you'd find yourself all upside down
and you fade away
for the first time
now you're slipping through the floor
you insist on going back for more
put all your dreams away
fading out like yesterday
it's over now
you can't chip away the ice
it's here it's underneath
you find it smiling at you
it's ... for the day
there's always been
ice on my face
so put all your dreams away
it's time you fade away
it's not a glacier
it's far away from staying
it's light years away
it's always been ice
it's always been ice
it's always been ice
on my face
oh oh oh
it's been ice
oh oh oh
it's always ice
oh oh oh
it's always been
oh oh oh
it's always ice
oh oh oh
Wailin wind is ripping off my windows
expose sky to me
friends of mine swim so far
that they cant be reached
leave a little in your wayside wake
From the islands that weve crossed
to the time we think weve lost
from the cages to the castles that well make
from the islands that weve crossed
we shake the water off
like a silver glacier slowly shrinks away
Saw it in the newspaper
write whatever you like
every single word that is on your mind
every single time that you feel inclined
you have to unwind
From the islands that weve crossed
to the time we think weve lost
from the cages to the castles that well make
from the islands that weve crossed
we shake the water off
like a silver glacier slowly shrinks away
I never saw you
I never saw you leave
I never saw you
I thought you'd see me
I never saw you
I never saw you leave
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
From the islands that weve crossed
to the time we think weve lost
from the cages to the castles that well make
from the islands that weve crossed
we shake the water off
like a silver glacier slowly shrinks away
From the islands that weve crossed
to the time we think weve lost
from the cages to the castles that well make
from the islands that weve crossed
we shake the water off
She floats like a sunken island,Like a drunken eyelid,
She, she looks on me,
She sicks like a broken arrow,
Like a frozen sparrow,
She, she falls alseep,
It is happening (x3)
What is happening?
She don't wanna stick it out,
Don't wanna stick out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna stick it out,
Don't wanna stick out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna check out.
She moves like a sudden answer,
Like a hidden dancer,
She, she looks on me,
She slips like a melting glacier,
Like a velvet razor,
She, she falls asleep,
It is glistening (x3)
She is glistening!
She don't wanna stick it out,
Don't wanna stick out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna stick it out,
Don't wanna stick out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna check out.
She is listening (x3)
Shes not listening!
She don't wanna stick it out,
Don't wanna stick out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna check out,
She don't wanna stick it out,
Don't wanna stick out,
She don't wanna check out,
You just want to live your life
The best way you know how
But they keep on telling you
That you are not allowed
They say you are sick
That you should hang your head in shame
They are pointing fingers
And want you to take the blame
There are days when people are
So nasty and convincing
They say things beyond belief
That sting and leave you wincing
And to boot they say their words
Come straight down from above
And they really seem to think
That what they're doing counts as love
This pain
It is a glacier moving through you
And carving out deep valleys
And creating spectacular landscapes
And nourishing the ground
With precious minerals and other stuff
So, don't you become paralyzed with fear
When things seem particularly rough
Don't you pay them fuckers as they say no never mind
They don't give two shits about you. It's the blind leading the blind
What they want is commonly referred to as theocracy
And what that boils down to is referred as hypocrisy
Don't listen to anyone; get answers on your own
Even if it means that sometimes you feel quite alone
No one on this planet can tell you what to believe
People like to talk a lot, and they like to deceive
This pain
It is a glacier moving through you
And carving out deep valleys
And creating spectacular landscapes
And nourishing the ground
With precious minerals and other stuff
So, don't you become paralyzed with fear
When things seem particularly rough
This pain
It is a glacier moving through you
And carving out deep valleys
And creating spectacular landscapes
And nourishing the ground
With precious minerals and other stuff
So, don't you become paralyzed with fear
