"Memories of Winter"



It's time to forget it, throw it away

My habit to cling on to yesterday

Upon the stage I saw your light shine

I thought back to winter when you were mine

I walked out the theater and silently cried

The realization my spirit had died

I crawled up and locked myself into a hole

Memories of winter had poisoned my soul

"Goodbye" I screamed as I walked away

Never to see you again

Something that I didn't bother to say

To you it would not have mattered anyway



I suddenly felt that my burden was gone

A need that I carried for far too long

The demons of sadness, the goodness of sleep

Were all intertwined with the comforts you keep

And when you did nothing, you did nothing at all

You are the angel that's destined to fall

The mountains will crumble, the forests will burn

My ever-absent Counselor is bound to return

Feelings that couldn't be put into words

A beautiful music that's never been heard

Up in the sky I saw a light shine

Here is the answer and now is the time

I suddenly felt that my burden was gone



Blindness is just another word for

Sometimes-I-feel-like-I'm-losing-my-faith

Woman I just couldn't take anymore

I need you to know I was saving face

I was tired of being tired

I was scared of being scared

Ring out the bells

Everyone saw you as somebody else

And visions of you will sustain

Dreaming, pretending, this game that you play

Disguises you wear at the end of the day



And now the lights are out and the crowd has gone home

Leaving you and I in this theater alone

Maybe now we can come into terms 

Again
