What You've Done For Me

What You've Done For Me
by Mike Pollock

I've dressed my self up in snowflakes
left out in the cold to dry
My hands are icy
my fingers are numb but I
can feel the world through my eyes

And what i see
is never enough
to pacify the need
the need I have
to breath
and it's all i can do
to keep myself from
bleeding to death
freeze it in my veins
I have forgetten
how forgiving the cold can be

I've dressed myself in leaves
let the trees forget I'm here
my hands are branches
my fingers budding
but I can't move I'm rooted where I stand

This life...
I've tried to give up
but you won't let me
This life...
is beautiful once
you open up your eyes...

and I
have failed so many times before
So many miserable answers to
so many easy questions
but
my eyes
are light enough inside
you saw straight through the ice and snow

And what i see
is never enough
to pacify the need
the need I have
to breath
and it's all i can do
to keep myself from
bleeding to death
freeze it in my veins
I have forgetten
how forgiving the cold can be
