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
