Frozen

The water here's cold
It freezes me, keeping me broken and stealing my soul
I tried to fight it
I tried to scrape my way back up
And find the way out
Out of this riverbed
Out of the water
Out of my enchanting nightmare of a dream
The water here's cold
Yet I'm burning and scorching as the fire catches my breath
And the chills stain my nerves until they're blue
The water here's cold
It carries me with the current and I endlessly float
I float in not a river, but a sea
It's vast and filled with secrets and pain and a mind tortured and disturbed
To the point where it barely knows empty from numb
And numb from a sharp pointed edge
The water here's cold
And soft and a heartless killer
But I like the hands that hold mine
And I like the words that crawl and forever settle inside
Me
