lyrics

Frozen darkness lost in space and time,
Crystal silence locked inside my mind
Chasing demons paste them out of reach
Slumber frosted ease them back to sleep
Sharp and silver, darted for it’s mark
Reason wasted on a broken heart

Joy, hiding behind the farthest tree
Warming sun glow, chilling within the well of me
I couldn’t touch our love to be
Empty shell, sinking in an icy sea
Here standing before the water’s edge
Sculpted memories, fashioned from an old aging head

I can’t feel, so dream, instead
Restless souls, hanging upon this season’s ledge.
