My Cold Reflection

I want something to come and take me under for the winter

And light the wick inside me like an ember in a flame

So if my cold reflection tries to take my body over

At least I’ll have the sense to walk away

I do not want to rustle and awake my inner demons

Although I have some leverage, they got everything to gain

If they should ever surface and reveal the thoughts I’m thinking

I fear that I may never get it straight

So maybe I should get some distance

Put a little space between myself and all the wreckage

Don’t want the mutiny inside of me to rise and overshadow

Everything that I know

Born another dollar sign, along with all the others

Now, who would I be fooling if I said I wasn’t bored

With these idea peddlers hustling for my attention?

But I don’t want to hustle anymore

So won’t you come and meet me over here among the ruins

We’ll keep the torch inside us, like an ember in a flame

And if our cold reflection ever tries to take us backwards

We’ll never make the same mistake again

So maybe we should get some distance

Put a little space between ourselves and all the wreckage

Don’t want the mutiny inside of us to rise and overshadow

Everything that we know

Go where we want, tell me what you see

So far beyond the haze

This much I know

We don’t want to be

Caught in the fray
