lyrics

Frozen
No strength to open the curtains
Oh heart please don't stop beating
Oh bones please keep a little warmth inside
Waking up with a panic attack
Will the rain stop pouring down outside?
Will the pain end like all things end?
A haunting past, a fear in my head
This is my shadow that never leaves
And frigid walls closing in
(And rain turns to snow)

I see the sunlight through the ice
A fatally lucent barrier
Trying to break through
But I'm powerless
No air left to breathe
No hands beyond to reach
NO AIR LEFT TO BREATHE
No hands beyond to reach

No chance to rise
Right now it feels like I'm
TRAPPED UNDER ICE
(My words) for the bitter, the broken, the ones in fear...

Still here in bed
The worst-case scenario in my head
Hope disappears as I try to clench my fist (unmanagable)
Trying to face them alone
Prolonged problems I kept in my heart of stone
Feeling as useless as a paper plane wreck in the cold corner of my room Alone
(Ice turns to stone)

I see the sunlight through the ice
A fatally lucent barrier
Trying to break through
But I'm powerless
My strength to prove
But I'm hopeless
No air left to breathe
No hands beyond to reach
NO AIR LEFT TO BREATHE
No hands beyond to reach

No chance to rise
Right now it feels like I'm
TRAPPED UNDER ICE
My words for the bitter, the broken, the ones in fear...

Do we all agree?
Whatever it takes we need to speak out
Do we all agree?
It's not easy to take these steps
Do we all agree?
Fear defeats
Do we all agree?
“Laughter is poison to fear.”
— George R.R. Martin
