about

Upon a piece of melting riverbed ice, with devastatingly cold waters underneath ready to take life and give death, the subject invites the cold to come and freeze again as the only means for maneuvering off the ice bed, simultaneously finding beauty in death by nature.

lyrics

I feel the winter growing underneath my skin
I'm on the ice and knowing that it's getting thin
and if I move if I stir if I breathe
life will come and take itself away from me

beneath my feet the river's flowing back to the sea
I feel its pull to crack the ice and swallow and take me
but maybe the cold will come and freeze again
only the cold can help me get safely back to land

so come cold come cold only the cold can save me

there's nothing but the wild wild elements out here
they're taunting me and teasing me and daring me not to feel fear
would my life be their victory
or would my death cause some to mourn for me

I'm holding a rare gift in my hand
to die from nature and not from man
even if I'm swept away I feel that this is love
nothing but the natural forces around me below and above

so come cold come cold only the cold can save me
