2 ft. of snow today
hid the ashes that i left
honestly, stephanie, i miss you
the backyard still looks the same
the sleep you promised never came
another rising sun that leaves me lonely
i can't sleep, and i know why
i close my eyes, and i see...
we talk now to fill the space
hide our feelings well away
hating everything we're turning into
and after things went down that way
i told myself i'd stay away
from private jokes and codes and inuendo
i can't sleep, and i know why
i close my eyes, and i see...
the people that i've left behind
the heart beats just to break
i told you, i, took what i could take
and i sold you out
that sister you saw yesterday
shuts her eyes, walks away
cloaks herself in holy holy holy
but your happy now, it's plain to see
embracing all life's simple things
ignoring everything our mother taught you
