Chilled To the Bone

Shivering with fear,
I want to be in someone else’s skin
Chilled to the bone,
Nameless remorse whips me from deep within
From deep within,
This pain drips on like acid rain
Deep down inside, the sin
Scorches me aflame 
Can’t help, but be driven insane

Chilled to the bone
By the gloomy atmosphere
Why are you gone? I’m all alone…
Devouring despised fear…
Chilled to the bone
Afraid to let go…
Weighed down by gravity…I groan
I won’t go with the flow

Shivering with fear,
I want to be in someone else’s skin
Chilled to the bone,
Nameless remorse whips me from deep within
From deep within,
This pain drips on like acid rain
Deep down inside, the sin
Scorches me aflame
Can’t help, but be driven insane

I’m sorry that I’ve let you down
You can’t save me from my demise
Nothing can change what has happened,
But you change my future
I’ve tried too hard and this childlike joy – I can’t discard!
Feeling like I’ve wasted my time
Why am I a depressed bard?
Have a committed a terrible crime?

Shivering with fear,
I want to be in someone else’s skin
Chilled to the bone,
Nameless remorse whips me from deep within
From deep within,
This pain drips on like acid rain
Deep down inside, the sin
Scorches me aflame 
It’ll always be that same burn
As the oceans collide and churn
Feeling this shame without a name
Mistreated by your own shame
I should refrain from gettin’ driven insane 
Chilled to the bone, 
I just want you to leave me alone for a time
Walking on my own,
I found out that love never lasts – 
It’s a forgotten line,
Sick of trying to rhyme…rhyme…

Chilled to the bone
By the fear of losing you (I hope that fear doesn’t draw near)
Why are you gone? 
Have I ran out of time?
Biting my fingers, hoping the boat will steer,
Undamaged with capacity…
Hopefully, we’ll arrive in one piece – 
That’s my only plea!

I swear I’ll be okay
If the clouds don't turn gray today in May
I won't be feeling gay...
Not that anyone cares I feel that way
If you left me out of the blue...I wouldn't know what to say
I'll be depressed all day, but hey
That's reality...I need to get real,
For my heart is made out of the finest, strongest steel 
I won't make it a big deal!
I'll forgive the past and forget about it for a change
For, it's about time we rearrange 

Please don’t forget about me easily this fine day
I promise I’ll be happy child on God…dancing merrily
 
I thought you belonged with me, 
But our relationship only lasted for a while, baby
Oh Lord! I wish you’d give us peace!

Give me a piece of what you got
Chilled to the bone, don’t leave me to rot!
