Taking Inventory of a Frozen Lake

What's in my heart?
It's a frozen lake
What's in my heart?
It's a list of names with no ending

Just kept focusing on the sound of my voice
Dip your pen into the water
Watch the ink as it escapes its life
Can you relay all these secrets in your wake? Like

What's in my heart?
It's a long, long way into the past tense
All this time we watch go by
You're getting far away when you're right beside me
A missing page of our mistakes
It's getting cold

Just kept holding on to the breath in your body
Place yourself under the water
Shed your thoughts and watch them drifting by frozen lights
All those questions never thought, like

What's in my heart?
It's a frozen lake with no ending
All this time we watch go by
You're getting far away when you're right beside me
A missing page of our mistakes
It's getting cold outside in the summertime

The river's dried, but the subways are floodin'
You walk the streets like a tall, thin flame
I searched the mirror, but the mirror was empty
It's never as dark as the light from a cold, white page
It's time, you're getting far away
It's time, it's time, it's time, it's time, it's time
Deep inside my heart, there's a missing page
Deep inside my heart, there's a missing page

As you walked the platform in a daze
You swore that sleep was a place that we could never reach
(My time, it's my time, my time, ah)
And the things of this world fell away
You showed me empty hands were the only kind that ever prayed
(My time, it's my time, my time, ah)
