Your blank heart freezes
Every moment
Trapped within the frames of time
The snow lingers upon you
Layering as each second fades
The frozen pressure swells
And swells
Each gasp of air tightening

You can’t take it
Look where you’ve gotten yourself
Your lies have encased you
A foreboding cocoon
You’re trapped in your own confusion
Trapped within the frames of time

&quot;I will no longer pray on my knees, to a god who&#039;s left me so many times. I will no longer pray on my knees, to a god who won&#039;t answer my call.&quot;
