Half a Person - Trapped Under Ice

Bear witness to the birth of

Broken promises

As the truth escapes

An honest man breaks

And I’m always getting worse

At keeping words

Can’t erase the things

That my anger brings

Can’t erase my striving relationship with loss

Agony I was taught

Moral standard has been maladjusted

And senseless acts reinforced

Anything to forget the pain

The agony I was taught

Becoming everything

I never wanted to be, somehow

Until I close my eyes and just fade out

Just fade out

My soul slips out

Out the back door

To the city streets

I can only hope for

Things to get better

But they never do

Growing further from myself

Without you

Bear witness to the death of

Love I never received

When I was young

Just wanted to be by your side

But I guess I wasn’t good enough

Can’t say that I’m proud

Of the live I’ve come to know

I feel the worst things in my soul

And if I never make it home tonight the streets will swallow me whole

Love to love to love to love you

But fuck it

Love, I couldn’t cut it
