Cold Spirit

Faithless dreams in this game The one I want to witness my pain Closer now, I won’t her let go Her arms around the ghost in the snow Silence for this angel of fear Patience for the hate in her tears And now a word, such comfort from me That she is mine and I’ll set her free Haunting all that she needs Reminding her that everything bleeds The rotting cores: reflections of self The frozen lake is all she has left Faithless dreams in this game The ones we need to witness this pain Closer still, I need her to know That if I leave she will turn to stone This ghost a prayer for someone to see The snow is cold, and it’s all I can be And now a word from denial’s regret Just wrap up warm before we connect
