Still, Disappearing

So still, disappearing in A glistening field of snow You're no longer tormented It just settles on your skin and rests A long drawn breath Fogging up the cold air There's so much beauty in your suffering So still, disappearing in A glistening field of white As I watch from my window See it settle on your skin and rest A long drawn breath Fogging up the cold air All this beauty in your suffering Softening the coming end There's so much beauty in your suffering What passes in a glance Is more than you can grasp Whatever passes in a glance Is only the shadow of these strange times These strange times What passes in a glance Is more than you can grasp Whatever passes in a glance Is only the shadow of these strange times These strange times Who saved the arsonist From their own fire Who brought the cold Back to your heart Who heeded the call Of a veiled desire Who brought the calm Back to your heart Everything undoes itself in the end Unfolds over time then crumples up again You hold time in your hands But find an empty palm instead An empty palm begging for anything To come your way I see How it seizes you How it holds you How it carries you off I see How it seizes you How it holds you How it carries you off Whatever passes in a glance Is more than you can grasp Whatever passes in a glance Is only the shadow of these strange times These strange times What passes in a glance Is more than you can grasp Whatever passes in a glance Is only the shadow of these strange times These strange times And when the day breaks you are gone Only an imprint in the murky snow The city wakes at the crack of the dawn Sweeps the streets clear together with the thaw There's nothing to do I won't be coming back Nothing to do I won't be coming back There's nothing to do I won't be coming back Nothing to do I won't be coming back
