about

In the step of the first noble truth, this song represents addiction for drugs, that disconnect from reality.

lyrics

CHARLIE

There's a line on the table
Like a frontier in between
Your heart is beating, unstable
It isn’t for me, but for your spleen

Stop telling me you only sniff
Because you’ve just been crying
When I know it’s your own cliff
The edge you’re on, when you’re fading

It’s snowing all around us
In an ugly way, in a twisted way
It’s snowing all over us
In a dirty way, in a tragic way

I keep telling you the lady is a lie
But you fell in love with Snow White
There are no happy dusty roads nigh
No magic powder will make you feel right

While you are falling apart
Delusion makes you believe
It’s the way to make real art
When it’s some idle kind of relief

Anesthetics crystals are
The stars of your made up sky
Reality feels way too far
Your euphoria sounds like a sigh

It’s snowing all around us
In a dirty way, in a tragic way
It’s snowing all over us
In the ugly way, in a twisted way

I keep telling you the lady is a lie
But you fell in love with Snow White
There are no happy dusty roads nigh
No magic powder will make you feel right

Paying the price, you can’t afford this world
Love affair has left you behind
Addiction could only get you hurled
Unbearable, you keep trying
Keep trying in your mind, to rewind
