Night falls again
Holding me tight in the back yard
Cold fingers
Shivering down to my bones
I've got more pain in my lungs
More pain in my head
And I can't hide
I can't control it anymore
I've cried and I've cried
And I've cried for the last time
Realizing just how completely
Terrified
I really am
Since the last time
I'd given up
Can't do this everyday
Watch the world walk on by
While I'm sitting
In the shit that I can't hide
The cold is getting colder
But I can't
Can't go inside just yet
Just a bit longer to see
How cold I can get
