Ice-Nine

My name is written on the floor Painted in white like wedding decor I didn’t break down ‘till I was alone ‘Cause the subject at hand always hit home Contact is what I can’t take It’s the thought I had the thinking can’t shake Shadows on the side of a cave He’s a saint but acts like a slave Come up to the light, my friend Short term pain for long term ends A second away you will say “Bring it on a silver plate” See, people want things to remain The way the stood there yesterday We’re driving blindly in the rain My future self has cut the breaks And to the north, we’ll always pray For snowfall in the month of May I’ll walk through my old school Diving into Carsten’s pool By the water’s edge I was feeling alone But they told me to stay, so I didn’t go home Contact is what I can’t take Contact is what I can’t take Nothing was the same, but it’s all of me to blame I jumped back in the pool and it felt just like a like Ice-Nine, come take me away Why’d you go, and why’d I stay Why die wide eyed looking my way? It’s easier if I just say You are a part of yesterday From all the notes you sent my way I’ve learned the truth to my dismay This world won’t shine, it’s like a ray Reality is shadow’s play A second away you will say “Bring it on a silver plate” See, people want things to remain The way the stood there yesterday We’re driving blindly in the rain My future self has cut the breaks And to the north, we’ll always pray For snowfall in the month of May
