forever night
winter days drag on
you only realize you miss the sun
when it's all gone

true to the story
the girl is left alone
her thoughts all muddled
and heart turned to stone

a cigarette burnt out on the ground
it feeds waking thoughts
but only the sun rises
when all those who cry have drowned

spilling over in bubbled tears
the weeks feel like years
a cold harsh winter
makes my aching body wither
