Softer Poisons

Embers fall through open hands
The cold bites deep where the warmth won't last
A hollow wind whispers names I forgot
In the wintertime the needles caught

Breath freezes
Breath stains the air
Fingers numb
Reaching for nowhere

The colder nights breathe the softer poisons
Snow and silence mix in hypnotics
High pitch screams where the heart collapses
The wintertime takes what it catches

Smoke trails curl in the blackened light
Ashes settle on a frozen fight
Cracks in the ice
Like veins in stone
The deeper it cuts
The less you're alone

Frost burns where the skin once knew
Ice reflects the lies you grew

The colder nights breathe the softer poisons
Snow and silence mix in hypnotics
High pitch screams where the heart collapses
The wintertime takes what it catches

Yeah
