Cold, Dark Winter

[Verse 1]
I take a breath and try to recollect
Who I am and where I’ve been
I don’t recognize my own face
I don’t even remember my name

[Verse 2]
What doesn’t kill you makes you weaker
When you’re hooked up to synthetic machines
Just so you can breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I sinking or just dreaming?

[Chorus]
Trapped in a vessel going nowhere
I try to reach you, but no words escape
Could you blame me if I felt like giving it up?
Tell me this cold, dark winter won’t last forever

[Breakdown]
The cynic in me is screaming to pull the plug and leave
To decease must be better than purgatory
The cynic in me is telling you to leave
But I can’t justify the end of life with no goodbye
It was just like a dream when I saw you at my bed
Felt your hand latching on, but no grip could be given back
I see her in my room crying tears for my endless sleep
I’d trade places, embrace it so you wouldn’t face it alone

[Chorus]
Because I am
Trapped in a vessel going nowhere
I try to reach you, but no words escape
Could you blame me if I felt like giving it up?
Tell me this cold, dark winter won’t last forever

[Post-Chorus]
Tell me this cold, dark winter won’t last forever

[Outro]
Leave me to rot in this hospital
What a burden I must be
I don’t blame you if you leave
The cynic in me is screaming to pull the plug and leave
I feel a hand reach into my dream pulling me from purgatory
