You won't shiver tonight
feel the warmth outside
arctic summer
this fall shall have no leaves
though a few more degrees
arctic summer

the warm damp air
blows against my face
like a million molten shards of glass
scratch with piercing grace

I feel the heat engulf me
there's no turning back

you won't shiver tonight
feel the warmth outside
arctic summer
this fall shall have no leaves
though a few more degrees
arctic summer

empath exhales
breathes in betrayal
cavities hurt
so we must swallow the truth
raw and dry

denial and pain
shake hands in victory
we cant weather the storm

I feel the heat engulf me
there's no turning back

I didn't choose this

you won't shiver tonight
feel the warmth outside
arctic summer
this fall shall have no leaves
though a few more degrees
arctic summer

empath exhales
breathes in betrayal
cavities hurt
so we must swallow the truth
raw and dry
