The ruin of your face
Pours down like lead tears
As you sit by my side

Confess to me your fears
Drink deep the wreck of me
My body is a funeral


I fail to find comfort
In your pale cold eyes

Worn loosely about me
You hang there dying off me
Deep in the misery

Of my long arms, weeping
I cradle your tired head
This moment for the keeping


Her hand raised from the shadows in silence
Like a dying victim of a biblical plague

A strange mix of innocence and horror
Gushed from her red rimmed and swollen eyes
Resentment conquers sympathy and I turn my back

Her burning stare, like a minute blazing suns
Roars into the back of my head
And I simply move away


I will sing you this song of
All my pain, so listen

Great roaring, tears pouring
Down unto me from my lover
The winter in your soul

Has frozen me forever
