Skeleton contorted by wind that shapes me Skin hardened by the bitter kiss of winter Light shines through the bare bones of yesterday And I know there's hope for tomorrow Lights are on, cold caress of a new day in my lungs Trees stand like bones across the blue sky This is all I ever wanted, as it turns out this is all I'll ever need I ache, pins and needles Won't stop, days slip by But the promise of tomorrow keeps me breathless Trudging through my clouded mind Worthless to the thoughts in my head Ice filled lashes Cold burned faces Pale wrists I know there's beauty in this But I can't see it in the dark These nights are too long Dry skin breaks as I clench my fists The trees are baron Just like the days going by The shadows shrink as the light grows stronger Those lonely nights staring into the abyss Something keeps me from slipping Three words in my head... Open your eyes
