you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
_laying in a bathtub full of freezing water, wishing you were a ghost_

I hide out under the iced night
And stand under neverending darkness
The stars have lost their brightness
Like a candle losing its burn
It leaves me to guide my own way
And makes me fall to the ground and bleed
I look but a bright star cannot be found
The lonely wind is my only guide
I shiver as coldness stabs into me
I don't want to give up
I don't want to die in darkness
Blindness overtakes my vision
The coldness numbs my body
So I fall to my knees
Slowly, I curl into a ball
And shut my eyes into another day
