By the Deep Sea, and Music in its Roar

Sometimes I feel like a snowman, perpetually melting over the heat of time

Stuck in the same place, unable to move to some shade to save myself

With a forced smile of coal put on my face, a grin to hide the agony

Just too frozen and cold to ask for any help by those walking by

Watching day in and day out as my world thaws around me

Knowing full well I just won’t and can’t be here forever

The scarf and hat I’m offered do little to spare me

These gifts I am given are just rushing the thaw

As I feel every bit of me drip and fall away

Hearing it splash below me at my base

Aware of the fate that awaits me

Forming my future at my feet

I feel as if I’m drowning

Before I’m even water

Just another snow

Left to become

A puddle
