Under This Snow Bank

Under this snow bank lies a gnarled graveyard
Filled with empty corpses of my broken dreams
I keep hoping that this is a nightmare
That I'll just wake up and scream
But I've drawn the unlucky card
And it has shattered my dreams
Still I cease to care
Because the light of my soul has ceased to beam

Under this snow bank lies a gory battlefield
Where I was defeated by my inner demons
And now I lie dripping in blood, screaming in agony
I can't believe that I let them get to me
I can only hope and plead for death
But of course it will never come
Because my oozing wounds are the sign
That they're the best, that they have won

Under this snow bank lies the naked body
Of all of my habits, having become exposed
Yet I still hope that no one knows
Because I writhe and burn under the spotlight
And I toss and turn every night
At the thought of the expulsion of them

Under this snow bank lies the truth
The truth of who I really am
Because to everyone I just pretend
I refuse to let anyone in
But I cannot scrape off the snow
Because I can't let the truth show
