February came and went We slowly drifted apart We hunkered down in our comfort zones And got more used to it Words got spoken, but not meant Then not spoken at all Buried and married and none of it scary Taunted by strangers on the wall February never left It froze us in, you froze me out Living in sin, united in lust Wasting chances to better ourselves We benched our wants, we sold our needs Reaping rewards we couldn't redeem The glass house stood despite our stones On a burial ground of rattling bones The air was cold, the nights were long The city was bleak and so were we I came uninvited, then I became strident You didn't deserve it, to lose what was perfect And hope can be found In the place without sound When the white noise is quelled It'll hatch from its shell February came and went I slowly drifted away I hunkered down in my comfort zone The only place that was safe Words got spoken but not meant What is broken will not mend Buried and married and all of it scary Haunted 'til I see the end The air was cold, the nights were long The city was bleak and so were we I came uninvited, then I became strident You didn't deserve it, to lose what was perfect February came and went We slowly drifted We slowly drifted
