Layers

With colder winters
Come thicker layers
Both around me
And my heart
I said
With colder winters
Come thicker layers
Both on the outside
And the in

Protect me from the cold, my love
Shield me from the frigid air
It's getting mighty cold inside
Without your warm embrace

The outer shell has passed on
Melting away from my body
Bare skinned and alone now
How I miss the heat

With colder winters
Come thicker layers
Both around me
And my heart

(interlude)

I said...
With colder winters
Come thicker layers
Both on the outside
And the in

How it drains me so, my dearest
To go naked in the snow
I need more layers around me
To keep me buried in myself

(solo-ish thing)

Hiding under my new husk
Just a walking mass of nothing
Hollowed out but so damn warm
Sensitive to nothing at all

With colder winters
(Colder winters)
Come thicker layers
(Thicker layers)
Both around me
(On the outside)
And my heart
(And the in)
