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
