Thin ice

Skate on thin ice if it pleases you so,
just follow the same pattern in the ice,
straight to hell
unable to turn,
but I won´t be there on the side cheering you
so when the ice breaks
drown those who try to save you
and rescue those who just watch you go under

Lies can be so intoxicating;
the ice a cruel fantasy
I never whisper truths,
as if there is only one version of truth,
uncomfortable without a distance,
but caring and varm.

So much easier to just continue one´s passage to hell
keeping your enemies close with sweet, false words
slaughtering those who actually care
for letting go is a seduction

When summer comes with its cold
I won´t be there to blame
and your ice destroy
but I´ll show you a hand full of warmth,
to melt your ice,
beneath it the sky
and the stars in your eyes
that you´ve forgotten.
And I will show you a better man when least expected
