lyrics

Today I feel like eating snow
And taste a glimpse of what you own
I want to freeze from head to toes
And let a breeze blow my whole hopes
Today I feel like eating snow

Today I feel like being alone
And believe there’s no world outside this home
‘Cause what it shows is hollow and poor
And I’m an ill man of no cure
Today I feel like being alone

So please leave me alone
Some place far away
I can’t stand it anymore
‘Cause my life is much too poor
And I’m much too drown in pain

So please give me some hope
The few I had has blown away
Need to numb my wounded soul
Need to ease the things love broke
Being much too far from me

Blood is on the wall
Things I badly wrote
In the book of my cold fate

Won’t wait anymore
Feeding all my hopes
With things that cannot be

Today I rely on
A gun to fire
Against my brain

Today I’m a liar
But the gun will fire
And blow my misery away

Blood is on the wall
Things I badly wrote
In the book of my cold fate

Won’t wait anymore
Feeding all my hopes
With things that cannot be

What can I own
If everything runs
What can I own
Neither words will come

I’m left alone
Inside a cold room
I’m left alone
Alone with my failure

Today I feel like eating snow
And taste a glimpse of what you own
I want to freeze from head to toes
And let a breeze blow my whole hopes
Today I feel like eating snow
