I.C.E

The cold seeps into my veins Like a presence that spreads and chains me Invisible, but I feel it growing A slow virus that prevents me from feeling My hands pale, become alien The warmth leaves every artery Something lives… but not for me It takes the place of what I once was It circulates silently It replaces everything that lives Everything freezes inside me An infection I can't see It suffocates everything, without leaving a trace And covers my heart with a layer of ice but I must resist if I don't want to fall into oblivion The frost colonizes my thoughts Every memory is infected They change shape, become cold A faint echo, almost chemical As if my body continues on its own While I Disappear, slow and alone Nothing healthy left beneath my skin Just emptiness… and cold Everything freezes inside me An infection I can't see It suffocates everything, without leaving a trace And coats my heart with a layer of ice But I must resist if I don't want to fall into oblivion System shutting down No more fever… no more struggle… Just a slow fall… If this is life… why am I dying? If this is death… why does it last? Everything freezes inside me An infection I can't see It suffocates everything, without leaving a trace And covers my heart with a layer of ice I remain trapped in this moment Slowly contaminated Even my thoughts disintegrate Under this layer of ice I want to leave but he won't let me I want to leave but he forces me I want to leave he keeps me trapped in this c
