SNOW

The winds are tracing scars upon my hands

The blinds are shut, the glass is gone and so’s the contraband

I cannot say what led me to this place

A truth I can’t quite bear to face

You mustn’t let it on, you’re shutting down

A hopeless daze, her tired gaze, and nothing makes a sound

The dust is filling cracks upon the floor

A stick to poke the bear, to tame the fire that’s not burning anymore

Though the snow falls gently, I know we won’t

We have more than we let them know

And though my heartbeat’s steady, I hope you don’t

Think I’m happy to let this go

The pinpricks of the snowflakes wet my eyes

A rosy red, an empty bed and barely a goodbye

The winter wind is whistling drawn-out notes

And look at me without a coat

The room you used to share so you could sing

Is now a space that’s no more yours than any other thing

But her voice still weaves nostalgic ebb and flow

The mountain peaks are capped with snow,

you’re trapped but there’s no way you’d ever know

Though the snow falls gently, I know we won’t

We have more than we let them know

And though my heartbeat’s steady, I hope you don’t

Think I’m happy to let this go

Footprints leave a trace until they're covered up again

Don't you know? You're shaking so, you've fucked this up again

Everybody needs some peace and quiet now and then

Moonlight shines on crystal ground, it’s calm and still again

Footprints leave a trace until they're covered up again

Don't you know? You're shaking so, you've fucked this up again

Everybody needs some peace and quiet now and then

Moonlight shines on crystal ground, it’s calm and still again

Though the snow falls gently, I know we won’t

We have more than we let them know

And though my heartbeat’s steady, I hope you don’t

Think I’m happy to let this go

Though the snow falls gently, I know we won’t

We have more than we let them know

And though my heartbeat’s steady, I hope you don’t

Think I’m happy to let this go
