Under the pale neon lights, she walks alone
In the misty alleys, her steps echo like a stone
Her heart is a glacier, her eyes are dead stars
She holds her silence, secrets kept in reserve
Shadows in her eyes, an ocean without curve
In this hostile world, she's a lost, lonely isle
But dig a little deeper, you'll find an unexpected smile
She's cold as ice, but her soul's on fire
People turn away, but they don't know the higher
Beneath the surface, a warmth that's burning
A strength unspoken, in every fiber, discerning
Gazes shift, suspicion in their greeting
They judge her silence, missing the deeper meaning
Each scar she bears, a mission well done
Each shadow, a battle, a truth can be undone
She's cold as ice, but her soul's on fire
People turn away, but they don't know the higher
Beneath the surface, a warmth that's burning
A strength unspoken, in every fiber, discerning
Don't stop at the surface of her frozen gate
Behind this wall, a heart hides its pain
You'll discover the warmth she's long concealed
A mother's betrayal has left her heart unrevealed
She's cold as ice, but her soul's on fire
People turn away, but they don't know the higher
Beneath the surface, a warmth that's burning
A strength unspoken, in every fiber, discerning
You played your part. Now I have to play mine
We are fighting a war in which we're hopelessly outgunned
I won't bring you home
I won't bring you home
