First Snow

Outside the window (A distant regret)

A different city in snow (You tried to forget)

The ones you leave behind (A distant regret)

Mistakes you can't unwind (You tried to forget)

Anchored to despair, lost at sea

The distance between you and yourself

Identity fractured and overwhelmed

A lack of belonging and a makeshift self

In love with facades at the masquerade

In love with facades at the masquerade

 

You can't escape, you can't relate

The distance between you and yourself

 

We're counting down to our last days

What life is that? No life at all

 

Chasing shadows

Smokestack widow

Tinfoil cut hoping

Blissed out and coping
