Frost

Watch me fall, watch me fall into the frost
 As the fog comes crawling out from the trees
 I recall a stormy afternoon
 And a fireplace you sparked with your warmth
 When I always, I always pretended
 To be nothing more than a sunny beam
 But I'm freezing in the frost now
 Don't you feel a little lost now?
 ♪
 So tall, the stories that we tell to the children waiting it out 'til hell
 What they learn is never enough
 To burn all the coal we store inside of our hearts
 And the frost only thaws in the heat of a lie
 It deceives you, the poet's smile
 And you're freezing in the frost now
 Don't you feel a little lost now?
 Things never turn out how we want it to be
 We close our eyes and we count to three
 As if we live in a lucid dream
 We'll play pretend 'til we finally feel free
 So let us dance while we're under the spell
 I'm sure the poet always only means well
 We take our turns in a show and tell
 We'll play pretend 'til we finally feel free
 ♪
 And it hurts, yeah, it hurts to realize
 That the magic only diverts your eyes
 From the burning of all you thought you loved
 And the ashes taste like fear and failure
 Won't you smile, won't you smile so brittle
 When it feels like you never had it before
 And we're freezing in the frost now
 Don't you feel a little lost now
 Things never turn out how we want it to be
 We close our eyes and we count to three
 As if we live in a lucid dream
 We'll play pretend 'til we finally feel free
 So let us dance while we're under the spell
 I'm sure the poet always only means well
 We take our turns in a show and tell
 We'll play pretend 'til we finally feel free
