[Intro: Alex]
Will it never cease?
The pain of absence
Will you never subside?
By the time it had happened
I'd lived it a thousand times
Behind closed eyes
Its keen edge blunted
But the ache still resides

[Verse 1: Alex]
The cold eased its grip on my bones
This sun was the first I'd known
The mad chorus calmed at the touch of your hand
The voices disarmed

The wind calls my name
I dare not answer
I dare not speak

But had I known the collared throats
The hand on winter's wrist
Heard the command of your lying lips
I would have bitten off your tongue
During our first kiss
