Patient Hope in New Snow
Alright
Alright
The heat comes in distant shifts to fill up my room
It spills out of these ancient vents to meet the new cold
And I lay in my twisted sheets and stare out at the snow
Thinking of the next few months, my cold and lifeless eyes
No I've never felt so separate
And then there's you that's so obvious
So say "It's hopeless and I know this
That's why I can't dream"
No desire or circumstance
Keep this from me
Keep this from me
Keep this, keep this
One by one to department stores, we walk through the aisles
In a forest of designer clothes you touch me and smile
And all for a moment I could want nothing
Your bright eyes burn through my exploding heart
So we stand as the shoppers pass us
And for once I can feel a touch complete
And I need to just be near you fill these empty eyes
You start turning as resistance pulls
You from my cold and boring life
Let's make this easy and let time pass, as devotion dies
The list goes on and on
I have waited and I will be waiting for the pain to cure the fear
To cure the fear
