Hush now, close your eyes,
I will sing you to sleep.
I’ll bandage every self-inflicted wound
And wipe your tears away,
Until you blossom in the spring:
When the needles of frost on your skin melt,
And you can breathe again.

And still, here I’ll stand,
With my arms open wide -
Come, take refuge in me.
Seasons wax and wane and soon
The winter will return,
But my heart can beat for the both of us.
My blood can keep the cold at bay.

Your love is fragile,
Irreparably damaged. Those icy shards
Tore what was left of you to shreds.
So I’ll swap your broken heart for mine.
I’ll offer you my all, bloodied hands outstretched.
My body will fall limp for you, and
In saving your life, I will bleed out.
