It's So Cold
In frozen time my heart starts to beat slow
My imagination has me flying, falling, GERONIMO!
It's a long way down, dangerous, skydiving without a lifeline
An almost imminent death calls to me longingly weighs heavy, no lightly, on my mind
Tiny islands like moss-covered turtles draw near
But I'm safe as long as I'm in my mind, as long as I'm here
I sit now on the traintracks the wheels it's horns drawing closer music to my ears thoughts ringing through my mind, as long as I'm here
I can see my fingers glide for the last time across those black and white keys of my old out of tune piano
In this big room I feel so small with my voice loud I hear the echo
I feel like I'm in the crevice of a canyon
Lost and lonely in my personal slum
How grand it'd be if I could imagine something better
But once I was left behind one time to many I lost the ability to remember 'together'
Doors closed all at once and somehow Ive lost all the keys
Two chains hold me down keeping me on my knees
A glimpse I've been given of what could have been gold
But all alone I sit lost the chance now I've grown cold
