In Your Icy River of Blood

In Your Icy River of Blood

A heart as cold as stone in a winter blast

Temporarily passionate but it will never last

In the modern day world the casualties are vast

Victims in a hurry overlook their lover’s past,

Groping through a fog I stumbled upon you

You were different and I thought you could be true

The greatest mistakes come when it’s all shiny and new

A broken heart allows survival of a very few,

Like so many in a garden of stone here I lay

Trusting an easy lover will make you pay and pay

With integrity as moldable as clay

No matter how hard you try she won’t stay,

In a river of blood I get washed away

Lord give me another chance I pray and pray

Tumbling down a frozen slope with a busted sleigh

Was that you my little adulteress, what did you say?

With all this insanity go wear your mask

Like Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde I’ll take the flask

Baby, when were you going to tell me, was I supposed to ask?

When it comes to telling the truth I’ll take you to task,

The scars that come from betrayal always seem to stay

Oh Baby, Baby, Baby, why won’t they go away?  

I’m just here trying to keep the wolves at bay

A lie is not the truth just because of what you say,

Building crystalline bridges with only my dreams

No one there to live for or so it seems

Innocent enough to be impaled by her foolish schemes

The eternal illusion of peaches and cream.
