Take This Cold Away (Demo) Lyrics

This frost has fallen in my bones

I want to melt and drink it all

And under my feet the floorboards moan

And it reverberates all through the hall

I'm poisonous, selfish

Just like the weather out there

If I had a fire, I'd sit

And let the flames lick off my flesh

And we'd laugh together, full as ticks

And I'd have some sort of purpose in what is left

I wouldn't be freezing now

No, I would not even be alone

So tonight I think I'll burn myself

And peel back a little skin

Melt away this gelid ice-shelf

And catch a fever once again

The cold laughs outside at us

Like zoo animals in a cage

As we sit, cry, and bleed out pus

They celebrate like it's a rave

Ignorant to our shared despair

Because they can't feel anything

So we'll all burn tonight again

Splashing, and coughing, and snorting, and bleeding

We'll stare into our camera lens

Pleading, and pleading, and pleading, and pleading

Someone take this cold away

Oh lord, hear us

Oh good lord, hear us

Oh lord, help us

Help us, help us, help us

So tonight I think I'll turn myself

Into the mirror of my sins

I'll see what has become of myself

And if I should shatter my lens

Because if this cold doesn't stop

I'm gonna jump into the snow

I'll fall, and crawl, and bawl, and stall

But then we wouldn't have a show
