ice man’s always roaming
down a frozen road
wastes no time in talking
to far off souls
he’s known for a while
never to expose
never let a smile crack
his visage of snow
ice man melt away
years ago he opened
his frigid heart to me
I saw a vibrant ocean
bursting the seams
someone came around him
and saw the ocean blue
her lies were like a glacial knife
piercing straight through
ice man melt away

the dread
05:24

walk around the house and turn the lights down
it’s time for bed
time to lie awake and wrestle the thoughts
that burn in my head
drifting off into a river of dreams
hanging on to my fears
a silhouette fills my bedroom doorway
a man with shears
in moonlight he approaches me as I sleep
silently, violently he kills me
and then I wake up gasping for air
and I’m here all alone
another dream another restless night
to endure on my own
check the clock. check all the locks
say a prayer. don’t be scared
since you left, my dreams have not been pleasant
affairs. they’re nightmares
in moonlight I heave a sigh in my bed
I'll stay awake try to escape the dread

waking life
03:51

|
every morning I wake up
from a world that I made up
to another one just as unreal
wading through the working day
an endless river seems to lay
all stretched out before my waking life
every night I go to bed
with a tune caught in my head
a melody that lulls me into dreams
in them nothing's ever clear
like staring at a shattered mirror
making sense of fragments of myself
isolation

nightingale

|
you’re a nightingale
flying through the falling hail
high above the earth
coming down is harder than
leaping up without a plan
to some far off place
'cause when you get there
after coasting through the air
you'll be alone
you gave up too soon
when the night was young
a new day begins by
the light of the moon
since your night flight
I flicker like the candle light
burning out slowly
and when you come down
for another go around
don't look for me
cause I'll be long gone
running down another dawn
up around the bend
you gave up too soon
when the night was young
a new day begins by
the light of the moon

infinite glacier
02:39
|
|||
|
you and I are sliding down
an infinite glacier
where we lie there forms a line
dividing ice and sky
on and on, world is gone
melted by the heat
moving on, time is gone
fading memories
hold my arm, keep me warm
here and now we’ll be
forever
