Breaking ice

Shall i tell  you the story 
About the separation of mind from the body
It's gruesome yet not bloody 
Full of people yet kinda lonely
I am ashamed but i tell you that proudly
 

I'll tell you the truth but i'll make it seem like i am lying 
I can barely walk yet i paint the paper with a dream of flying 
And it is life i am scared of - not dying

Which is saying something haunting
I can hear the ice singing the song about how it wants to break 
Under the pressure held too long to take 
Another minute
 

Eat the apple - says the snake the ancient spirit 
It won't get any sader - even your despair must know a limit 
Stop staring into the room of your past - there's no one in it 

Now dim the light and close the shutter 
Spill the gas and start the fire 
Then out through the door and be gone in a flesh 
Run from that blue door which soon will turn to ash
 

And now with your past up in flame 
Who are you? What's your name?  
Do you know yourself when not bound to that old chain? 
I hope you understand you cannot remain the same 

Every change requires a sacrafice 
And your broken ice might just suffice 
But it's never the fall but a landing that snaps the neck 
And each banished demon can come back 

So keep in check your thoughts and their stream 
Don't let them wonder where they became sharp and mean 
That's a path you already know a path you've already seen
And you should know it dosen't lead to anything clean
 

Instead take you pen and write a different chapter
Forget about the pain of yesterday with a dose of laughter
Because even the darkest of nights must be followed by a day 
And that is everything i wanted to say

I stood there smitten 
By his words so calmly spoken
Wondering if i am crazy enough to actually take 
An advice from a talking snake

But it sounds like a good advice 
Besides what to do now with all the pieces of that broken ice
Which soon will start to melt 
And that could be a feeling likes of which i have never felt
