I put on a smile
For the world to see
But nobody knows
The pain inside me
The pain is sadness
That threatens my life
Each day is a struggle
Of sorrow and strife
That takes over my body
And my mind
So I search for happiness
That I’ll never find
I crawl on my knees
Calling for it to come  
To save me from the dark
From what I may become
What will happen?
Will that light save me?
And give me peace
Or will it find
Others who need it
More than me

Bit by bit
I feel myself slip
Away from everyone
Away from who I was
As my mind comes undone
It unravels like a cord
And settles around my feet
I collapse into it
As I give into defeat
To that icy shadow…

The darkness has won
It has destroyed my hope
And I can no longer run
Away from it
So I turn to face
My fear, and I bury myself
In its cold embrace

Everything stops.
Where is the pain?
Where is the sorrow?
Feelings of gloom have left
And are replaced by numbness
Curiously, this shadow
Is more comforting
Than confining
It whispers tender thoughts secretively
Promises to hold me close
Forever
It murmurs to me
That I’ll never be alone again.
I guess this is sort of about the call of the Winterlands... you'd understand (maybe) if you read A Great And Terrible Beauty. I wrote this and thought it sounded kind of like that place.
