lyrics

Ten month long winter
Spent buried in the snow
But I am far to stubborn
to come up and thaw my frozen bones
Call off my obligations
there's simply nothing I can do
I'm soon incriminated as the sun shines through

I'm just a selfish man

and I was motionless
as I stared at the crack in the ceiling
When I started hear the darkness
of isolation leaking through again

call of the search
don't come looking for me
just as long as we
can pick up where we left off

I run and I hide
never escaping the darkness that lurks in my mind
but now it's part of me
it is the phantom limb that I cannot describe

It is a phantom limb
But I must tear it out

And I've been here before
tearing open old scars
in a vain attempt
to learn a different lesson
But the roots are deep
and the seed is strong
I've just been fighting with myself all a long

and the whole time I was lost in thought
I hadn't even seen i let the darkness in
and he spoke to me with the voice I know so well
so here we meet again
