I thought the cold was temporary Just something passing through Then every breath became a stranger And every mirror looked like you I stopped feeling my fingers Long before I felt afraid Kept walking through the snowfall While my footprints disappeared I never noticed what was missing Until there was less of me The quiet felt like comfort Until I couldn't hear myself I'm fading into white And I don't know when it started Every part I leave behind Looks almost like a scar If I make it through the night Will I know who survived? Or will something wearing my face Be waiting On the other side? The snow keeps filling every outline Smoothing everything I was I called the numbness healing Until I couldn't feel enough Now every step is getting lighter Like the ground forgot my weight I thought I was getting better I WAS JUST DISAPPEARING I'm fading into white And I don't know when it started Every part I leave behind Looks almost like a scar If I make it through the night Will I know who survived? Or will something wearing my face Be waiting On the other side? I can't remember What warmth felt like I can't remember What I was before Maybe I kept walking Because stopping meant admitting I was lost I'M STILL MOVING BUT THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO FOLLOW NO FOOTPRINTS NO NAME NO SHAPE IN THE SNOW IF I VANISH HERE DON'T CALL IT PEACE I DIDN'T FIND MYSELF I JUST RAN OUT OF ME I'm fading into white And now I know when it started Every piece I left behind Was something I still needed If I make it through the night I don't need to recognize The person crawling from the snow I just need them To be alive No footprints. Still breathing.
