cold embrace

The cold embrace we make as strangers tonight         

It’s just a way to get by it’s just a way to get by 

The lows and the highs we seek to balance inside  

then the pills we’re prescribed we take the pills we’re prescribed 

The deceit and the lies meant to buy us some time      

Patch the cracking disguise patch our cracking disguise 

The tempest inside that will never subside      

Can you hold it inside? I can’t hold it inside 

Me and you 

Drifting lost at sea 

Slaves to the wind and the waves  

You and me 

through collision meet 

On this empty blue expanse

Me and you 

Washed upon the shore 

Is there life beyond the beach?  

Tonight we make our cold embrace 

And through entanglement erase 

All vision of our future and our past 

For now we join but soon we’ll part 

Two particles by chance collide 

then spin back off into the void  

I know the rules but why can’t I? 

Walk out the door and say goodbye 

A feeling’s now unearthed and will not die 

What could I say for me to stay?

I see you want me on my way 

And our paths to never cross after this day

Do we dare to confide and sweep the pretense aside? 

Let our feelings collide. Let our feelings collide

Do I dare to betray all (of) my secrets today? 

How do I know that you'll stay? How do I know that you'll stay? 

The closer we are. It’s still a distance too far.

Yawning gap left ajar. Yawning gap left ajar 

If the contrast is stark between the light and the dark, 

How did I miss the mark? How did I miss the mark? 

How did I miss the mark? How did I miss the mark? 

How  did I miss the mark? How did I miss the mark? 

Me and you  

Careening towards 

the edge inevitably 

You and me 

Who can steer when we’ve 

lost all sense of left and right  

Me and you 

Should we hit the brakes 

Or accept the fall as fate  

Tonight we make our cold embrace 

And through entanglement erase 

All vision of our future and our past 

For now we join but soon we’ll part 

Two particles by chance collide 

then spin back off into the void  

I know the rules but why can’t I? 

Walk out the door and say goodbye 

A feeling’s now unearthed and will not die 

What could I say for me to stay?

I see you want me on my way 

And our paths to never cross after this day

Remember the time when all the world was green? 

Everyday was a sunny day 

And all was bright and gay 

Remember the time when you were Daddy's little boy? 

The only star in his sky

And the apple of his eye 

How did we get so far away and how do we ever go back? 

Is there even a home to go back to? 

Was it even ever real or just a dream? 

Should I retrace the steps to my old street? 

Every night mama leaves the light on

But I can't bring myself to the door 

Cold embrace 

Bitter taste 

Hide my face

Can I leave this place?
