Snow Angel

I watch them through their tinted glass

As their lives progress and come to pass

I watch them through my one-way mirror

Where they can’t see me, can’t know my fear


Bury me here, right here in the snow

And let me watch the whiteness grow

Let my body grow cold until it is warm

Bury me here, leave your footprints and go


It’s comin’ down the mountain, gonna kill us all

When summers used to spring now winters can only fall

The flakes accumulate, but the real snow has yet to fall

Longing to warm up by your fire, longing for you to call


Their calm demeanors can’t help them tolerate

The judging eyes of those who seek to decimate

It all makes no sense and the questions begin to grow

Is it any surprise that most of us are questioning our fates?


Bury me here, right here in the snow

And let me watch the whiteness grow

Let my body grow cold until it is warm

Until I’ve found my angel of the snow


From east to west, trial, error and just test

Grow that hate, commiserate, and try to be the best
I don’t, nor have I ever, wanted to hear what they jest

Shut down, shut up, don’t restart just standby like the rest


Can you tell your friends from all of your enemies?

It’s as if no one cares, and everyone just aims to tease

You can make time into money but still never appease

The world may turn, but not fast enough to fling off the sleaze


So bury me here, right here in the snow

And let me watch the whiteness grow

Let my body grow cold until it is warmed

By the gentle soul, of my snow angel
