James Field - Cold Winter

It's been a day
Fold down in the cold, out from his home, when he stays
Keeping the pace
Like the tide in the bay
Ice on the rim, by the lake
By the night, what it takes
She ain't amazed
Snow up to his ankles,
Searching for shelter, the blood white trail left painful
Imprints of the scars
Limpin', he can't evolve
Laid on the ground
Framed out

Smoke and ash, our feelings, nothin' but a cloud
You won't hear it now
You act like nothing mattered, so get out
You don't get to ask me what I'm after, and what it means
How do you still invade my dreams

Deserted
Left behind, he wonders if it was worth it, or a burden
As he pours the remnants of his soul, and they still laugh at his best
Every bad thing that happens, adds up to a test
As he thinks with his feet on the ledge, lookin' after Hope
Exhale an arrangement of tobacco smoke
While a thought enters his mind packed with a weight like a last note
But now it's passed over
His grip on reality dissipates and grows colder
He's only traveled with a wind that cuts to the bones
The environment shifts, but always ends closed and set in stone

Smoke and ash, our feelings, nothin' but a cloud
You won't hear it now
You act like nothing mattered, so get out
You don't get to ask me what I'm after, and what it means
How do you still invade my dreams

Cold, cold as piercing as he's ever known
Torn clothes old, appearing to better alone
Abandoned, like he's stranded in the woods
Branded him an outcast, but he'll outlast those cuts
But he isn't one, to be a victim
Laughing hyenas gather to poach, lyin' when they miss him
Days gone by, I feel it's tradition
How I evolved, above it all, a natural condition
And I understand
(that your choice)
Wasn't exactly planned
And you're looking for an answer
Before I wasn't up to your standards
and now I won't be around to -
Season's change

I'm hanging halfway off the balcony
Perceiving what I take to mean reality
I knew one day that I would change
And you want the same (want the same)
I can still hear you calling out my name

Smoke and ash, our feelings, nothin' but a cloud
You won't hear it now
You act like nothing mattered, so get out
You don't get to ask me what I'm after, and what it means
How do you still invade my dreams
