Cold as Steel



Cold as steel, as I'm reeling you in, to hold me tight.
This was our last fight. You whisper in my ear tonight,
everything will be alright. But my veins have turned a
cold blue and my heart has turned to steel, and all the
words you spoke to me, have washed away, the wind has
blown, they are frozen. If I told you the truth, you would
misjudge me, you'd blame you, so as this blood turns from
blue to red, and your heart holds my deadly hand, as we
share this cold icy breath, lips pressed together, you know,
this fait, this death, is forever.
