"The Frost" lyrics - AUGUST BURNS RED

The cold comes with a sting, a sting across my hands
Cracking and breaking like the weight upon my chest
It took me years to figure out it's what I needed, needed to survive
What I need to survive, my resolve will be revived

I discovered the cure for my misery
By spending time with the unforgiving
Something more, so much more
Graceful than anything, anything living

[Pre-Chorus:]
Alone with the wind is where I hide
As I find my place among the stars
This moment makes me feel alive
It's what I need to survive

[Chorus 1:]
Time stands still as my thoughts stop swimming (Time stands still)
Time stands still as my thoughts stop swimming (Time stands still)

My muscles may ache, my tendons may break
But tearing myself down to nothing has allowed
Me to become something more than this, something greater
This is where I may seem lost, but I
Promise you I'm more awake than ever, awake than ever
Facing up towards the never-ending expanse
And finding my place among the stars

[Pre-Chorus:]
Alone with the wind is where I hide
As I find my place among the stars
This moment makes me feel alive
It's what I need to survive

[Chorus:]
Open soul, open mind
I'm finally focused on what's inside
I've gained a new perspective
I've gained a new perspective
Open soul, open mind
I'm finally focused on what's inside
I've gained a new perspective
