Take This Cold Away

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

Im 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 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 I catch a fever once again

The cold laughs outside at us, like zoo animals in a cage
