Breaking the ICE

July 24, 2015

Why don't you look around yourself 

Why don't you tell me what you see 

Why is it so hard for me to tell 

The reasons me why you don't want me 

 

I've traveled underneath a billion stars 

Treaded the mountains that circled me 

Why is there saddness, and hatred here? 

Corruption I see everywhere 

 

The ice is melting, don't let me drown 

The dogs are comming, don't make a sound 

Don't leave me in the desert so I can die 

Don't let the coyotes 

eat me alive! 

 

Take me back where I belong

Hearing children sing to narcotic songs 

Let me waste a million miles

Or won't you let me stay awhile?
