the winter was everlasting
born into cold i become
frozen and numb to the bone
lost to the warmth of the sun
reaching zero and below
how do i deal with the pain
when all i feel is so cold
(how do i deal with the pain
when all i feel is so cold)
how do i deal with the pain
when all i feel is so cold
all that i want fades away
i learned to just shut down
i dissociate
and let my mind wander
to a warmer place
sometimes it gets so cold
i don’t feel a thing
the winter was everlasting
adolescence in the cold
wishing the end was near
i tried to soldier on
despite my depression and fear
but the winter storm raged on
for over fifteen fucking years
how do i deal with the pain
when all i feel is so cold
all that i want fades away
i cannot deal with the pain
when all i feel is so cold
all that i want fades away
or is unattainable
i learned to just shut down
i dissociate
and let my mind wander
to a warmer place
sometimes it gets so cold
i don’t feel a thing
the winter was everlasting
my hubris led to haste
i thought i could outrun the storm
yet winter has arrived
it has come for me
i will not yield to the biting cold
nor cower before the howling wind
i am not a slave to my old ways
i will become winter itself
i learned to just shut down
i dissociate
and let my mind wander
to a warmer place
sometimes it gets so cold
i don’t feel a thing
the winter was everlasting

the bay

one day we all will be
led to the water
our vessels docked at the bay
mother earth has a
home for you, daughter
the setting sun brings you west
ashes to ashes now
sleep in the water
your ship is sailing away
father time sets you
free from his harbor
in the pacific northwest

sleeping demons
07:00

|
am i enlightened or led astray, he said
have my convictions left me speechless or dead
have i forged this path alone
and wandered far away from home
or is this all just inside my head
how can i thrive inside
the belly of the beast
how can i rage if i
am part of the machine
i lie awake at night
and struggle just to breath
i went to sleep one night
and realized in a dream
i cannot thrive inside
the belly of the beast
i cannot rage if i
am part of the machine
i’m under too much pressure to survive
if ignorance is bliss then let me die
i came alive in a dream
the veil was swept out from under me
all time repeats when we die
maybe i’ll remember this next time
i always forget my dreams
recurring visions were clues for me
a gift from the other side
maybe i’ll remember this next time
the fabric now rips at the seams
all of my visions repeating
separate truth from the lies
maybe i’ll remember this next time
i’ll never wake from this dream
life’s greatest secret revealed to me
i never thought i would die
maybe i’ll remember this next time
