Blanket of Snow
Blanket Of Snow

I can see the world outside of my window start to dim
And I am tired of beating myself up over and over again
There are days I want to drift away like a whisper on the wind
Instead I stand alone and listen to the echoes of the dropping pins

I’m ashamed to wear these scars that spell someone else’s name
And I’m trying now to mend the hearts I broke with my mistakes
But none is harder than my own to mend and trust to fate
Because fate gave me hope, but I know that what it gives, it takes away

Chorus:
So cover me with a blanket of snow
Tell me that we’ll start again
And I’ll turn my back on the guilt and the ghosts
And bury them with my own hands
Under a blanket of snow

I had a pocket full of dust and prayers and the last chips I’d ever win
And they were soaked with sweat from my palm as I contemplated cashing them in
Because I’ve been used and I’ve been a fool, yes, I’m 23 and wearing thin
But how sweet it would have been if you’d loved me back, oh well, I think about it now and then

I wish I knew just what to say to make you see
But my words just never make it through from brain to tongue to teeth
So I’ll hide inside myself with a mouthful of sentiments that I can’t speak
Or spill it out and write you a letter that I know you’d never read
