conscience Lyrics

I step out onto the ice

I notice, how it trembles underneath my weight

I'm light for my age

And yet it buckles, underneath my bare feet

How could the snow, so beautiful

Poison all my toes

And leave my barren and cold

The ice begins to to crackle

And yet I stay

The winter flurries, pick up the pace

I stop breathing, for a minute

My red sweater falls to the floor

It no longer keeps me warm

And my jacket's still at her house

If only I had it now

The weight of my conscience, the sweater parts the ice

And I plunge under, into murky waters

The thought of what their daughters would feel

If it were all real

Deters me, from the icy field

I'm still breathing

As I stare at the lake

A crack at the center

Where its given way

I hope someday, I'll see you soon

And be able to comfort you
