Watch me fall, watch me fall into the frost
As the fog comes crawling out from the trees
I recall a stormy afternoon
And a fireplace you sparked with your warmth
When I always, I always pretended
To be nothing more than a sunny beam
But I'm freezing in the frost now
Don't you feel a little lost now?
♪
So tall, the stories that we tell to the children waiting it out 'til hell
What they learn is never enough
To burn all the coal we store inside of our hearts
And the frost only thaws in the heat of a lie
It deceives you, the poet's smile
And you're freezing in the frost now
Don't you feel a little lost now?
Things never turn out how we want it to be
We close our eyes and we count to three
As if we live in a lucid dream
We'll play pretend 'til we finally feel free
So let us dance while we're under the spell
I'm sure the poet always only means well
We take our turns in a show and tell
We'll play pretend 'til we finally feel free
♪
And it hurts, yeah, it hurts to realize
That the magic only diverts your eyes
From the burning of all you thought you loved
And the ashes taste like fear and failure
Won't you smile, won't you smile so brittle
When it feels like you never had it before
And we're freezing in the frost now
Don't you feel a little lost now
Things never turn out how we want it to be
We close our eyes and we count to three
As if we live in a lucid dream
We'll play pretend 'til we finally feel free
So let us dance while we're under the spell
I'm sure the poet always only means well
We take our turns in a show and tell
We'll play pretend 'til we finally feel free
