pretense of a winter's day

we feed our demons fears and secrets
at elegant tables we eat alone
there's beauty in the way
the shadow's dance
in the firelight glow

is it time to get away ?
do we walk, run or stay ?

winter isn't kind to us when
all we want is the sky
we've gotten dirty in all the
why
are we strong enough for this love
cause we are perfect for these scars

we can't burn this pretty blue snow
it's winter in eden
let's just put on some more clothes

your heart has forsaken the ocean
and the forest
will never come to shore
in the pretense of a winter's day
we are each others
only place to go
