Winter

And when night hits we summon the dead
Reunited with a shrouded love in this broken bed
The love we shared starts to fray
A heart hanging from a thread
When will I find my way?

The hands I use to hold onto became the rope around my fucking neck
So tell me what the fuck is left inside this caving chest?
An empty shell of the man I was lacking anything but regret

We took a vow that night amongst the light of a winter moon
Staring at stars as we whittled our names into the woods
You left me lurking in silence, searching for a life amidst the dead
An empty shell of the man I was, lacking anything but regret

I will not fall for this winter plague
My legs grow numb and these nights grow vague
I will not fade away

Like roses in the night we wilt upon the shadow we form
Forever bathed moonlight, bleeding from our own thorns

Like roses in the night we wilt upon the shadow we form
Forever bathed moonlight

You speak with silver though your words remain in rust
Captured in your eyes
You are my high
You are a must
I must confess I cannot stand where I am left
The dreams we once wove withers with emptiness
