Treading Water in Winter

Words like wildfire, burning me down
Stripped bare, only ashes remain
Whisper softly, turning me on
Stripped bare, only impulse remains

I am standing in the center of a frozen lake
Waiting for the ice to break
I am pushing boulders up a slope that's far too steep
Wondering what you've made of me

Moving slowly, dragging this out
Stripped bare, only seconds remain
Holding tightly, clinging to hope
Stripped bare, now nothing remains

I am standing in the center of a frozen lake
Waiting for the ice to break
I am pushing boulders up a slope that's far too steep
Wondering what you've made of me

Fractured, the ice gives way
Sinking, water welcomes me

I am drowning in the center of a frozen lake
Pounding on the ice above
I am chasing boulders down a slope that's far too steep
Fighting to stay on my feet
