The Frozen Years

Those arctic North winds blow
My blood feels almost sub-zero
Even if it freezes in my veins
and a heart of ice remains
I'll be numb to it all
drowning in a frozen water fall
Because my mind's in a dream
ignorant to her icy scream

My breath turns to fog before my eyes
Mixed with smoke, swirling as it flies
Walking through the field covered with snow
There is only one pitiful thought to know
A brief glimpse of a picture in my mind
of the goal I once longed to find
An accomplishment that soon faded to tears
that sill plague these frozen years

I may have been complete for a while
walking fast with that stupid smile
But it ended just as it came to be
A bloodthirsty beast deep in me
Now the pills numb the cold
as I grow dead more than grow old
and I now live in arctic tears
from her icy scream in the frozen years

Summer faded into falling ice
The cut grew deeper within
Now I'm paying a frozen price
for my cold heart of sin

Our love never had a chance to grow
Broken before it's time
Now it's covered deep in snow
As the ice clings and shines
