Cold 1996

   

FROZEN

and then I drift far, and wither so hard
I'm distant...I fade, so far now...away
and then I...drift so far
I'm fading...sink so hard
my eyes fade, sink hard, so frozen, so far
the wind beats...and I, drift so far...then slide
I don't think that I will ever feel the same
and I don't think that this day will ever fade
I'm so frozen and so caught up in this day
I'm so frozen and so lost in this cold day

BARE

I stagger out into this fading day
the mood is vacant and the clouds are grey
this day seems so bare and this air is so cold
I look around, then slide...I feel so old
and then I think about the little things I think about
and then I feel and I remember
and then I look around and see the things I always see
then I slip hard as I remember
and then i...

BALTICA

snowflake skin
Cheshire grin
frozen in space
I'll twist your face
my empire vast
this night breaks fast
you fall down dead
I've crushed your head

COLDER

the day has come for everything to change
as I slip in the cold, and I fade
the time has come for everything to fade
as I slip in the cold...and I'm colder

 

SNOWDROP

I am seeing Christmas
in the garden with Venus
in my eyes they kiss
oh, to be involved in this
all the aching signs we miss
to live in purple scarlet bliss
and swim with jeweled golden fish
and breathe the autumn air so crisp

DRIFTING

mother Mary, feel me prevail...
you're not anything at all
drifting, fading, clean, sharp detail...
you're not anything at all
stationary, vivid and clear...
you're not anything at all
mother Mary, save your tears...
I'm not anything at all
I don't think that I, I don't think that i...
can feel anything at all, and i...
mother Mary, broken and pale...
you're not anything at all
watching, waiting, withered and frail...
you're not anything at all
visionary, wasted, stagnant years...
you're not anything at all
mother Mary, silence your fears...
I'm not anything at all
mother Mary, feel me fade
hear me whisper, hear me fade
drifting, waiting, feel me fade
in the distance, far away

DECEMBER

please let me...
...remember
these last days...
...December
this glory slips away

 

POLARIS

I am loving again, I am loving again
Polaris
I am nothing again, I am nothing again
Polaris...Polaris

 

LATER

I see the sky so blue and it reaches to me
and then it crashes down...reality sinks deep
and then I coil back and sink into defeat
the day is just so cold, my whispers so discreet
I hide in this dark room, this dark warm eases me
the pain's so far away...this time drags perfectly
it's late and I am here...this night is mine to keep
my perfect quiet place...it's late and I'm at peace
the night sky seems so pure
I breathe so deep and I am here
this dark room is so pure
I sink so deep and I am free
