Red Ice

I don't know if it's the desert

Or a bedroom full of dust

It plays on repeat, I wonder

What could have become of us

It's too late, this disaster's

Too heavy for closure

How did I become this numb?

If I could blame the rain

For washing out the feel

If I could blame the wind

For bending what was real

I'd blame the moon

For every wound I heal

But I blame you

For burying the best of me

I swallowed every word you said

Like holy water poisoned in my veins

I felt them rise up to my throat, but they choked in my chest

The walls talk

It tells the story of what this love could have been

I swear this room knows the shape of my back now

I trace the cracks left by our sins

Bend me, break me to feed your self-esteem

Come and dance with me

Throw me, crush me, bring me down to my knees, smother me

But I still breathe

Woke up, you're gone

Some would say it's just part of my fate

I say you carved this into me with the tip of your nail

The white turned red now

I stand still while

The silence starts to break

If I could blame the rain

For washing out the feel

If I could blame the wind

For bending what was real

I'd blame the moon

For every wound I heal

But I blame you

For burying the best of me
