lyrics

Winter's company is the one I keep
Reminders of hope would shatter your heart
Deep in the mind are thoughts I don't know
What could be if it was you
Change is the constant but so is the feeling
Mercy is fine when the torture repents
Crying aloud so that someone will notice
Whimpering softly when nobody cares

A picture of air for a drowning man,
as he carefully waits out the wave
A memory of solace that helps with the fear as you feel it softly set in
This isn't how your memory works,
and it isn't how years pass you by
Is this how a relapse occurs?
By slowly wasting some time?

A reference to fame, or art for the mass,
yet ever so slowly it fades.
A treacherous existence is existence yet
Offensive to be but still you are
A shameful admittance to something so pure
A reason to smile at the very best
A reason to die at the very worst
The drunker the mind,
The worse the cause
Those who wonder
Are forever lost

A picture of air for the drowning man,
but he's slowly losing this time
This isn't how your memory works,
and it isn't how years pass you by
Is this how a relapse occurs?
By slowly wasting your time?
This is how a relapse occurs
By slowly wasting some time

A reference to fame, or art for the mass,
yet ever so slowly it fades.
A treacherous existence is existence yet
Offensive to be but still you are
A shameful admittance to something so pure
A reason to smile at the very best
A reason to die at the very worst
The drunker the mind,
The worse the cause
Those who wonder
Are forever lost

A picture of air for the drowning man,
but he's slowly losing this time
He's slowly losing this time
He's slowly losing his time
