Black Snow

Night won’t sleep Night can see Ash instead of stars Black snow falls Slowly down Into my hands City drowning under ice Headlights cut the empty night Iron smoke on fading lips I keep walking, lost in this Wet snow under every step Every move feels close to death Blackened air and lifeless light We are fading out tonight Hear the walls breathe with the bass Pulling my heart through empty lanes Copper ringing in my chest Don’t wake me, let me rest Black snow hitting on the glass I still feel it as it falls Frozen January inside Where you were, there’s only light Black snow, damp and hollow dark You have torn my mind apart Pulling me down like a wave And inside me lives one winter Down Down Pull me down Only dark and low Hands in ashes, hollow stare Heavy sky is everywhere Sorrow crawling through the blocks Like a river made of frost I forgot the names they knew My moon burned them into blue Only wires softly cry Only pulses never die Dragged drums hit like steps on stone World shakes through the broken chrome I still chase your pale remains But you’re gone from all the frames Black snow hitting on the glass I still feel it as it falls Frozen January inside Where you were, there’s only light Black snow, damp and hollow dark You have torn my mind apart Pulling me down like a wave And inside me lives one winter Neon dying on the rain I dissolve into the pain Like a mourning ritual Streets are burning cold and slow Someone’s crying through the wall Maybe it’s no one at all Maybe it’s my voice in sleep Still alive somewhere in me Black snow hitting on the glass Now I feel all of the past Only night outlives the flame And it’s breathing in my name Black snow, mute and endless dark Burns away what’s left of heart Pulling me down like a wave And inside me lives one winter Down Down Black snow One winter
