Balm (After Violence)

A new day after a whole night
Of watching the fire die out
The sun drained to pure white
Cold city all washed out

I hope the snow won’t ever cease
Just let it slowly douse the heat

Try to touch me now, try to reach me
I abide by myself and I’m breathing
I dream of nothing but sweetness
I dream of nothing but sweetness

So still, so cold
I close my eyes and let go
I float, oh I float
I give in to
The great calm
Come on, hang on
The great calm

She carriеs the cold through the streets
A white vеil over piles of debris
It’s a soothing balm after violence
Nestling in the cracks of this silence

I don’t think this snow will ever cease
Just let it slowly douse the heat

They can’t touch me now, they can’t reach me
I abide by myself and I’m breathing
I dream of nothing but sweetness
I dream of nothing but sweetness

I really think the snow won’t ever cease
Just let it slowly douse the heat

A blinding glow where the sun used to be
A blinding glow where the sun used to be
Please let the snowing never cease
Please let the snowing never cease

So cold, so cold
I close my eyes and let go
I float, oh I float
I get absorbed by
The great calm
Come on, hang on
The great calm
