Cold & Frozen & Dead

So, Vortican, in answer to your question... Yes, Angel & Devil from D.J. is the same poem I posted on this blog earlier.

I'm cold & frozen & completely out of it... Snow Patrol can do that to you. Gary's lyrics get us all sad and thoughtful and give us shudders... I'm just shivering because I'm back in my bedroom [with minimal heat].

But Snow Patrol has always inspired poetry in me. So here's a poem and a song I wrote for good measure.

Cold & Frozen & Dead [the poem]

I don't remember how or when or why.
I just look up into the big black-blue sky.
And deep down inside me.
I'm cold and frozen and dead.

There's nothing to change what I've said.
I lay down on my bed.
All around me
It's cold and frozen and dead.

Can you change this.
Can you warm me up inside.
Save me - save me
Before I die.


These Lies I Tell [the song]

Remember when I said
That I didn't love you..
Baby, got somethin' to tell you.
When I said I did't I love you...
I was lyin'

These lies I tell are just to
Protect myself
From the bubble-headed bleach blondes,
Cheerleaders, and prom queens...
They all surround me.
Baby, take me back.
Baby, baby, cut me some slack.
You weren't going to protect me now were you?

Remember when I said
I didn't like your kisses.
When I said
I wouldn't miss them.
Baby, I was lyin',
There's no denying.

These lies I tell are just to
Protect myself
From the bubble-headed bleach blondes,
Cheerleaders, and prom queens.
Them girls confound me!
Baby, be a man.
Baby, baby, take my hand.
Protect me like you
Said you would.

Okays, that's all I've got for now.

Ever Yours,

Asiat
