Frozen
Within Temptation; Metropole Orchestra Lyrics

I can't feel my senses
I am numb to the world around me and cannot experience it.

I just feel the cold
All I am aware of is the cold feeling inside me, as if my heart is frozen.

All colors seem to fade away
Even the vibrancy of the world has dulled and lost its appeal to me.

I can't reach my soul
I am unable to connect with my inner self or the things that matter to me.

I would stop running
If I believed there was a glimmer of hope, I would cease fleeing from my problems.

If I knew there was a chance
I need certainty before I can summon the courage to face reality.

It tears me apart to sacrifice it all
Giving up everything I hold dear causes me immense pain and suffering.

But I'm forced to let go
Despite my reluctance, circumstances leave me with no choice but to move on.

Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Acknowledging my emotional numbness doesn't provide any solutions for me to overcome it.

Can't tell the reasons, I did it for you
I can't explain the rationale behind my actions except to say that they were for your sake.

When lies turn into truth, I sacrificed for you
I was willing to make great sacrifices for you, even if it meant concealing the truth from you.

You say that I am frozen but what can I do?
Even though you have correctly identified my emotional state, I don't know how to change it.

I can feel your sorrow
Despite my own troubles, I can empathize with your pain and sadness.

You won't forgive me
I understand that I have caused you harm and you cannot bring yourself to pardon me for it.

But I know, you'll be alright
Despite the current difficulties, I trust that you will eventually recover and find happiness again.

It tears me apart that you will never know
I regret that I will have to keep certain things from you forever, despite the pain it causes me.

Everything will slip away
Inevitably, everything fades and disappears over time.

Shattered pieces will remain
Even after everything has gone, the destruction it wrought will persist in some form.

When memories fade into emptiness
As time passes, even cherished memories will become hollow and meaningless.

Only time will tell it's tale, if it all has been in vain
Only by waiting and seeing what the future holds can we determine if our past actions were worth the effort.

Frozen
I am unable to break free from my emotional paralysis.

What can I do?
I feel powerless to change my current situation and am desperate for a way out.

You say that I am frozen, Frozen
My emotional state has been noted, and it remains a constant obstacle in my life.
