"ICICLE FACE"

"...I am sure there is a common spirit that plays within us... the Spirit of God, the fire and scintillation of that noble and mighty essence, which is the life and radical heat of spirits... Whosoever feels not the warm gale and gentle ventilation of this Spirit, though I feel his pulse, I dare not say he lives..."
- Sir Thomas Browne, Religio Medici


Icicle face, you look like a clown
Face a cold white, afraid that the light will melt it all down
Haunting the mall, murdering time
Moping about with a pout like some melodramatic mime

Do you remember a time when the world was young, the summer sun shone bright?
Hope sprang eternal then, but you swallowed the lie
Now something inside you died

Icicle face, just hanging around
Striking a pose in your trendy black clothes and a Frankenstein frown
Barely fifteen and already old
What woul it take to awaken the love asleep in your soul?

Do you remember a place where the grass was green
The air was clean and you found gold at the rainbow's end?
Now it's all gone away and the rainbows are dull and grey

Get out and laugh in the sun, you might feel better
Melt down that icicle heart, you won't regret it
True love is waiting for you, go out and get it!

It's a cold, cruel, difficult world for the little things
The simple things and you don't have to hate yourself
There's Someone above you, Someone who loves you true
