I embrace loneliness with a withered smile
All this sadness in my life will never take me higher 
Torment and terror plague my mind 
Thoughts slip away like petals from a wilted rose 

I try to conjure up the courage to face my fear 
But I sit there hour after hour 
Shadows stir me with the fact that all that once was joy 
Has abandoned its fate to leave me in despair 

And then it happens, I see you 
I float on purity 
I breathe again 
For the first time (Melting the ice that once dominated me) 

The sun rises through murky clouds 
Transparent is my soul through its smile 
Beams of gold pass through my body 
The violent sounds turn to sweet melody
Life has finally caught up with me 

I head to unseen waters 
Toward a light that is lovingly familiar 
A figure glimmers in the distant sunset 
The me I'd dreamed of with a little more strength 

Before I knew that I could leave it all I'd longed for 
Each day with head in hands seemed like eternity 
I thought true love would make it easy if we played our parts 
Two souls hovering, floating, gliding for a counterpart 

And then it happens, I see you 
I float on purity 
I breathe again 
For the first time and the last time 
And then it happens, I see you 
Into obscurity 
I breathe again 
For the first time (Melting the ice that once dominated me)
