MM1.3.8-A: Cold (Requiem) (L58)

[Intro] Like a wish Made in the bedlam, Spoken softly To the sky... You build infinite Momentum, As you spread Your wings to fly... And I... Oh, I... [Verse 1] I know there really isn't Too much left of all our time. I thought myself resistant, But suddenly I find... The sunlight feels so distant In the face of your demise. You were always so insistent That it'd all turn out just fine. So why... Oh why... Does it feel just like a lie? [Pre-Chorus] Like a little piece Of heaven, Strung up high,and Hung to dry... As it's outline Slowly reddens, I despise The reasons why... [Verse 2] You sing the words and make a scene, So beautifully bereft. You only sing the words you mean, Until there's no more left. You gave me all your maladies- Carved them right out of your chest- So many little melodies You hoped I 'd just accept. But, no, I don't accept... No, I won't believe it yet... [Pre-Chorus] Like a lonely Slice of nowhere, Painted red, and Soaking wet... As it slowly Washes over, I won't say It's over yet... [Chorus] Your likeness still remains, But why is it so cold? You fight through all the pain, Casting off your broken mold... How it stills my beating heart... As you wane just like the moon... And it tears my soul apart... Cuz I'm nothing... Without you... [Drop the Beat] [Verse 3] Your body tangled up in mine Is etched into my bed. We tasted something so sublime, I couldn't clear my head. As a haunting on the borderline, You left so much unsaid... So many words left unread... All dried up with the ink you bled... So I... I beg you, please don't let them die... [Pre-Chorus] Like a sudden Complication, Written out In flattened lines... As it builds Anticipation, I cannot Avert my eyes... [Chorus] You're like a hurricane, So wild, and yet so cold... Your ever-pouring rain, Cast in silver, red, and gold... Now instills in me a dark... Awful need to exhume... The shallow grave you marked... Like there's something... Left of you... [Emotional Violin Solo] [Breakdown] If I could find my voice, I'd say your lovely name again. You stole away my choice, Though it saved me in the end. If only I chose not to waste it. If only I could take it back. If only I had thought to taste it... Still, I watched it fade to black. [Bridge] Like the dead air On the station, You're still skipping On the track... And this grave Miscalculation Hits me like A heart attack... [Chorus] You liken to a flame, Unyielding in the cold... With every sweet refrain, You leave no tale untold... And it fills my broken heart... With your bloody, broken tunes... Just like a work of art... Made of nothing... But the truth... [Outro] Like an effigy In starlight... Ever still Immortalized... I still call your name At midnight... Though you'll never Hear my cry... And I... Oh, I... Feel... So... Cold. [END]
