Melt the Ice and Set Me Free

My eyes are opened, the dream is done
The seasons change, the temperature bends
It's time to smile, reality has begun
I must prepare for what fate sends

I still remember those flesh freezing nights
She shared her warmth with open arms
Now the nights are over, the sun shows light
and she rests in another man's arms

Her face, body, and soul I adore
Her heart beating violently in her chest
I will see them never more
I've fallen for her like the rest

I'll drown her memory with these goddamn pills
Write endless poems in her memory
Free myself from the cold with what kills
and smother those feelings for her deep in me

Her Icy Scream in the Frozen Years
lies within me, feeding off my fears
No one will see me endless tears
Love only falls away, it never nears
I'm forever plagued by the frozen years
But someday another will come to me
Melting the ice, setting me free
