Cold Embrace

The surface was glass,

the air was cold

A secret that we never told

He took me to the lake to wash my mind

Left all of the world behind

He took me to the lake and held me

under (deep down) No scream,

just a silent wonder

Water filling up the space

Lost within his cold embrace

Now I dwell

where the current flows

Deep in the dark where nothing grows

A ritual

of the heavy deep

An endless, quiet, heavy sleep

(held me under)

(under the lake)
