Prisoner of the Cold

Today doesn't feel right

For what is right about feeling that nothing is wrong?

Thats right, Nothing...



When nothing seems different

I'll hold a red flag

Signal to the enemy

That I am lost and honestly

The nothing that I feel is much too heavy to hold

The lack of being tied down is

Much more unbearable then bold

Today's forever cold, tonight is way to cold



I told you I'd miss you

I told you I cared

I promised to never leave you

Now I feel naked and completely scared

Emotions once were open free to you

Now the door has been closed

and You will never know

No, You will never know



This nightmare's too real and cold



The people I have talked to ask

Why do I care so much and

I shrug to them in mystery

Cause I am lost and honestly

The weight of your decisions are much too heavy to hold

The lack of slack around my neck

Much more undesireable then told

Today's forever cold, tonight is way to cold



I told you I'd miss you

I told you I cared

I promised to never leave you

Now I feel naked and completely scared

Emotions once were open free

The door is forever closed

and You will never know

No, You will never know



This nightmare's too real and cold



My lack of words (Hurtful feelings)

To say to you  (Cause constant Dreaming)

Are more to me  (Of things being better)

Then just words to you (Of things working better)

I'll shake this off   (I'm remaining)

Just one more time  (Forever staying)

Till you shut the door  (Don't shut me down again)

Please make make me alive again (Please make me alive)

(Just MAKE ME ALIVE once again...)



I told you I'd miss you (Hurtful feelings)

I told you I cared    (Cause constant Dreaming)

I promised to never leave you  (Of things being better)

Now I feel naked and completely scared  (Of things working better)

Emotions once were open free (I'm remaining)

The door is forever closed  (Forever staying)

and You will never know  (Don't shut me down again)

No, You will never know (Please make me alive)

(Just MAKE ME ALIVE once again...)

This nightmare's too real and cold

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this one with the memory of a day similar to this where you feel as if you lost everything, but nothing feels wrong at all.  But you know...you know what you lost, you just don't feel it.  Days like those...days like today...are always the coldest.

I'll add a comment to this sayin that this song has so much more feelings to it then any simple words. Each word has a feeling to it, I hope you can feel it...the you that I wrote this one for. Don't take it as a simple song, don't take it for more then it is worth, just take it for what you know I mean it to be. This isn't a Goodbye song, but it surely isn't a Hello.
