A quiet has fallen

Not a word is spoken

Even the wind has hushed

In the dead of winter;

Snow rising

I'm shivering

I refuse to go inside

As I let myself fade

Into the snow;

I've been inside for

More than I can bear

But I'm there for my own good

I'm told

But I need this sharp cold

It's cutting me

And I'm numb;

Free from my lonely prison

Set out into a calm

Once I was mad

But now I can rest;

As I fade into the snow;

Everlasting peace

That I have finally reached

You can't take me out of this world

Dead and peace of mind;

As I let myself fade into the snow
