Sight of an eternal winter to come
It’s like ice has filled our home
Now everyday feels the same
And that sweet taste has grown quite lame
Shut down all the lights I have nothing to offer
Spasmodic embrace with too many lovers
People save their prayers for the martyrs
Golden ropes, like half alive for the future
Who wrote all these lines I’m playing
I split my life in two to silence the aching
Though being truthful used to be my thing
I had to lie to keep myself from fading
Now all my dreams are filled with doubts
And all I need is a way out
