The burning orange and crimson of autumn

flickers in the sun, yet fades during the night

suffocating in the cold. Death pirouettes down

kissing the ground in a pile of crunchy decay.

Flickers in the sun, yet fades during the night;

my smile and laughter are subject to daytime.

Kissing the ground in a pile of crunchy decay

I claw the ground, searching for you blindly.

My smile and laughter are subject to daytime,

I mercifully save my tears for the darkness.

I claw the ground, searching for you blindly,

even when we are touching we are alone.

I mercifully save my tears for the darkness.

My anguish drained in the sheets dries by morning

Even when we are touching we are alone.

Your feet shock my body out of sleep.

My anguish drained in the sheets dries by morning,

but I can still feel coolness in the warped ring.

Your feet shock my body out of sleep

they feel like death and winter mixed with flesh.

But I can still feel coolness in the warped ring

keeping my finger captive as well as my body;

they feel like death and winter mixed with flesh.

I am chained to your bed, chained to your love.

Keeping my finger captive as well as my body,

you tell me lovely lies with your dead eyes

I am chained to your bed, chained to your love

We lie here in love, lying in love.

You tell me lovely lies with your dead eyes

and I respond physically with frozen lips

We lie here in love, lying in love.

As unique and insignificant as a snowflake

And I respond physically with frozen lips

screaming into the floating flakes

as unique and insignificant as a snowflake

trapped under an avalanche of ice.

Screaming into the floating flakes:

The burning orange and crimson of autumn

trapped under an avalanche of ice

suffocating in the cold, death pirouettes down.
