The snow drowns me, in cold white solitude. Down down down I fall, until I feel nothing, Nothing at all. You can still see the imprint, where I fell through, The snow covers all, a false, clean, wonderland, In which I lie small. The air punches out of my lungs, as the snow constricts more, I am paralyzed, my brain starts to close in, I will surely be traumatized. I won't make it out this hole, I will be just another thing, Hidden just below the snow, where no one will find me, Except maybe a crow. I sink even further, to my own personal hell, I can't feel anymore, my brain turned off, And everything is cold right down to my core. I dream of running, to someplace warm, Where I might not drown, but I am stuck here, In this one horse town. They'll bury me someday, maybe once it melts, Maybe they'll find me, when they go looking for pelts. I begin to fade away, slowly, as I go to die, I wish it went faster, for it's slower than July. And with my last thought, I realized it was all for nought. Goodbye, old friend, You saw me clear through to the end.

Just Below the Snow
The snow drowns me, in cold white solitude. Down down down I fall, until I feel nothing, Nothing at all. You can still see the imprint, where I fell through, The snow covers all, a false, clean, wonderland, In which I lie small. The air punches out of my lungs, as the snow constricts more, I am paralyzed, my brain starts to close in, I will surely be traumatized. I won't make it out this hole, I will be just another thing, Hidden just below the snow, where no one will find me, Except maybe a crow. I sink even further, to my own personal hell, I can't feel anymore, my brain turned off, And everything is cold right down to my core. I dream of running, to someplace warm, Where I might not drown, but I am stuck here, In this one horse town. They'll bury me someday, maybe once it melts, Maybe they'll find me, when they go looking for pelts. I begin to fade away, slowly, as I go to die, I wish it went faster, for it's slower than July. And with my last thought, I realized it was all for nought. Goodbye, old friend, You saw me clear through to the end.
