Lyrics
eyes bent on salt tainted cement,
through a frozen window, i can hardly see...
and my eyes, slits from an overdosed state...as the wind burns time, i wonder if i'm too late...
is this my moment to transcend?
is this my time, to extend?
is this the place?
my throat has shed...
am i the one,
or am i already dead?
so i turn to separate...
i'm not afraid, i won't hesitate.
you're not here to save my soul
because mine remains half full.
this might be all that i have for you,
what else on earth am i supposed to do?
say goodbye to clean this mess...
yeah i'll leave to give my head a rest.
i'll try and melt these streets of snow,
before i become another god damn drone.
i'm alone in this ridiculous dream...
alone, even when i'm with you...
