Across Twenty-Six Winters - Phoenix Mourning

As I end this war
Like many times before
I burned these words and without a reason
Spit out ashes your fasting on happiness
This subtle remorse I claimed treason of course
The mirrors truth is my reflection
This subtle excuse no one to blame but you
Secrets that you cherish you will take to the grave
It always kills me to see you endure the pain
And I calculate the same mistakes always being made
As I shattered this glass that reflects my face
I died tonight
As I end this war
And never felt so alive
Like many times before
I tryed to explain to you all of my callous ways
But I can no longer justify that my past was to blame
As methodically as the seasons will always change
I would tear off my facade and replace it with a new face
And each time a new scar would surface for me to remember
That it's been twenty six winters and I still have not surrendered
But if I died tonight my letter would read
Dear you
My last breath was in vain
Sincerely
Me
Across twenty six winters
I died that December night and I still can't remember
Across December
Your apathy does not go unnoticed
And I'm sorry but they all see through you
Finally face to face
And finally this ends today
Your apathy does not ever seem noticed
Today I will end this war like many times before
Before the sun sets
Across twenty six winters
I died that December night and I still can't remember
Across December
Finally face to face
And I'm sorry
And finally this ends today
But they can see through you
