Cold - Penance

I’ve opened myself up

Exposed my vulnerability

Yet all you can do is sit there in silence

Leaving me empty

God forbid you should show some emotion

God forbid you should ease my pain

God forbid you allowed me security

That all my words have not been in vain

Goddamn you for silently choking me

Goddamn you you’ve frozen my soul

Goddamn you for keeping me hanging on

I burned for you yet you remained cold

I’ve risked much to love you

Yet you’re content to take without giving

Drink in all my love

So smug in the knowledge

Like a fool I’ll keep coming back again

God forbid you should open your eyes up

God forbid you should look at what’s true

God forbid you attempted to right the wrongs

Of all the hell you’re putting me through

Goddamn you for silently choking me

Goddamn you you’ve frozen my soul

Goddamn you for keeping me hanging on

I burned for you yet you remained cold
