Snow lashes in my face
I don’t remember how it feels
Lay down thinking it's easy
What I read and what I see
So are you really trying to convince me
Pretending to me it is not such a big thing
To wait and watch it all
Unravel any time
How do I walk it off
How could it make any difference
'Cos every time I try it just feels like
Another wall behind a wall
And every word I write
Is sinking ink on paper
A small attempt to get a place
Where I can rest
Anger lashes in my face
And jealousy does too
Don’t know how to take it now
Every time anew
So are you really trying to convince me
Pretending to me it is not such a big thing
To wait and watch until we
All fall apart
How do I walk it off
How could it make any difference
'Cos every time I try it just feels like
Another wall behind a wall
And every word I write
Is sinking ink on paper
A small attempt to get a place
Where I can rest
