about

The perspective shifts to the first person as we become the protagonist and experience his suffering first hand. Here we discover his addiction to alcohol, but we also get a glimpse of his salvation.

lyrics

Verse 1

Will you come around, let me show the sights of my Cold Town
The stores are closed, and there’s boarded up windows in dark empty homes.
Join me at the bar, 'cause in this town of despair you can't get very far.
Where the streets are paved, with the regrets in this life I've made

Bridge 1

I feel it rolling in like a storm on the on the sunniest day.
The clouds block the light, as day turns to night.
And I feel it flow through me like a poison right into my veins.
It's making me ill, yet i'm too numb to feel,
I'm back where I started again

Verse 2

I often wonder why, could I never relive all those years gone by.
When times tasted sweet, and as the music was played I would dance to the beat.
Now i'm growing old, and I've got nothing to show you from the dreams that I sold.
So I'll remain, as just someone who stayed the same
.
Bridge 2

Now it's rolling in like a storm on the on the sunniest day.
The clouds block the light, as day turns to night.
And I feel it flow through me like a poison right into my veins
I'm drinking again,
I stumble and then, collapse to the floor once again.

Middle Section

As I drift into a hazy dream,
Things don't appear quite as they used to seem.
A ray of the light shone through my drunken state,
A love so pure it shocked me back awake.
What a strange feeling.(nothings going to stop me now)
A love that was healing (nothings going to stop me now)
From searching for a better way. ‘Cause when hopes coming down to land.
I won't be stuck here with my head in the sand (oh.. no...)

Verse 3

So will you come around, let me give you on a tour of my Cold Town.
It lies within, and it's freezing all year from cold westerly winds.
I woke up on the floor, as I still feel hungover from the night before.
Is this my fate, yeah have I left too late?

Bridge 3

And I feel it fall on me like rain on a summers day
I'm soaked to the skin, in this game I can't win
And the fear it spreads inside like a virus right into my brain
its' making me ill, yet i'm too numb to feel the pain

And here it comes again like a storm on the on the sunniest day.
The clouds block the light, as day turns to night.
Nothings going to stop me now as I search for a brighter day.
A love without end, I found it but then, I woke from the dream once again.
