It's So Cold
In frozen time my heart starts to beat slow
 
 My imagination has me flying, falling, GERONIMO!
 
 It's a long way down, dangerous, skydiving without a lifeline
 
 An almost imminent death calls to me longingly weighs heavy, no lightly, on my mind
 
 Tiny islands like moss-covered turtles draw near
 
 But I'm safe as long as I'm in my mind, as long as I'm here
 
 I sit now on the traintracks the wheels it's horns drawing closer music to my ears thoughts ringing through my mind, as long as I'm here
 
 I can see my fingers glide for the last time across those black and white keys of my old out of tune piano
 
 In this big room I feel so small with my voice loud I hear the echo
 
 I feel like I'm in the crevice of a canyon
 
 Lost and lonely in my personal slum
 
 How grand it'd be if I could imagine something better
 
 But once I was left behind  one time to many I lost the ability to remember 'together'
 
 Doors closed all at once and somehow Ive lost all the keys
 
 Two chains hold me down keeping me on my knees
 
 A glimpse I've been given of what could have been gold
 
 But all alone I sit lost the chance now I've grown cold
