Cold, Dark Winter

[Verse 1] I take a breath and try to recollect Who I am and where I’ve been I don’t recognize my own face I don’t even remember my name [Verse 2] What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker When you’re hooked up to synthetic machines Just so you can breathe [Pre-Chorus] Am I sinking or just dreaming? [Chorus] Trapped in a vessel going nowhere I try to reach you, but no words escape Could you blame me if I felt like giving it up? Tell me this cold, dark winter won’t last forever [Breakdown] The cynic in me is screaming to pull the plug and leave To decease must be better than purgatory The cynic in me is telling you to leave But I can’t justify the end of life with no goodbye It was just like a dream when I saw you at my bed Felt your hand latching on, but no grip could be given back I see her in my room crying tears for my endless sleep I’d trade places, embrace it so you wouldn’t face it alone [Chorus] Because I am Trapped in a vessel going nowhere I try to reach you, but no words escape Could you blame me if I felt like giving it up? Tell me this cold, dark winter won’t last forever [Post-Chorus] Tell me this cold, dark winter won’t last forever [Outro] Leave me to rot in this hospital What a burden I must be I don’t blame you if you leave The cynic in me is screaming to pull the plug and leave I feel a hand reach into my dream pulling me from purgatory
