cold

here i am, alone again
screaming out in oppressive silence
moment’s lull at half past ten
shattered by my internal violence
i am torn in darkness far from dawn
unpleasant reminder that you’re gone

chorus:
i long for the warmth of your sweet embrace
in solitude’s arms, emptiness is all i feel
the bliss and the peace once found in this place
are marred by the wounds even time could never heal

crushed by lasting memories cruel
good times into the distance faded
now i know i was the fool
left here with broken trust and jaded
standing, beaten in the ruthless rain
if only the cold could numb the pain

i long for the warmth of your sweet embrace
in solitude’s arms, emptiness is all i feel
the bliss and the peace once found in this place
are marred by the wounds even time could never heal

all my world is stained with rust
crimsoned innocence, dead quiescence
heart black, call me back to dust
my soul lost now as is your presence
nothing’s ethereal in what i see
no hope in my life’s reality

bridge:
who would care if my heart skipped a beat?
who would care that i sink in defeat?
there is no one, i am nothing
i am worthless, worthless, worthless

i long for the warmth of your sweet embrace
in solitude’s arms, emptiness is all i feel
the bliss and the peace once found in this place
are marred by the wounds even time could never heal

i long for the warmth of your sweet embrace
in solitude’s arms, emptiness is all i feel
the bliss and the peace once found in this place
are marred by the wounds even time could never heal
