Blankets Of Sorrow

(album: So That You Might Hear Me - 2019)

Hailing all of your virtues as flaws
While the ice on the floor starts to thaw
And the cracks and the veins start to form
All I can't deny

Paralyze your stubborn mind
Can't see the woods behind
The blankets of sorrow
No-one could ever reach and pull you out
Sleeping as the sleet just falls
To crystallize your crimson thoughts
No more 'I'm sorrys'
No, I'm not sorry anymore
A frozen lake, a raging storm
The same damn thing in different forms
I can't make you see it
The water only reflects what it's been shown
And I know I should not stay
There you go, you push me away

You're praying on the driving snow
(Is that what you want?)
To sail you back, to take you back home
(Don't shut me out here)
The bitter cold or the frost unknown
(If you won't walk, then go alone)
But do I try or comply

And paralyze your stubborn mind
Can't see the woods behind
The blankets of sorrow
No-one could ever reach and pull you out
Sleeping as the sleet just falls
To crystallize your crimson thoughts
No more 'I'm sorrys'
No, I'm not sorry anymore
A frozen lake, a raging storm
The same damn thing in different forms
I can't make you see it
The water only reflects what it's been shown
And I know I should not stay
There you go, you push me away

I dreamt I saw, a careless child
My thistle amongst the lavender flowers
Crying as the snow started falling
Love, you said, I'd never know
Until the day I have my own
But I beg to differ
More than I know, how to let it show
I'm letting in, I'm letting go
Just saying what I've always known
That I only speak so that you might hear me
