the heat comes in distant shifts to fill up my room 

it spills out of these ancient vents to meet the new cold 

and i lay in my twisted sheets and stare out at the snow 

still thinking of the next few months, my cold and lifeless eyes 

I've never felt so separate 

and then there's you but that's so obvious 

it's hopeless and i know this, that's why i can't dream 

no desire or circumstance would keep this from me 

one by one, to department stores 

we walk through the aisles 

in a forest of designer clothes, you touch me and smile 

and for a moment i could want nothing 

your bright eyes burn through my exploding heart 

and we stand as the shoppers pass us

and for once i can feel a touch complete 

and i need to just be near you and fill these empty eyes 

but you start turning as resistance pulls you from my cold and boring life 

let's make this easy and let time pass, as devotion dies, 

the list goes on and on 

i have waited and i will be waiting for the pain to cure the fear
