its cold in chula vista
nothing moves
a chill controls my body
nothing moves
i fail to shiver

light has passed
the earth has been eclipsed
now the time of darkness has come

if you ask for anything
you will see just how strong hate can be
no one wants to give anymore
everyone is fighting to keep warm

the sounds
the cries
the pain
if it was a dream i would not be afraid

waiting for a sign
i am ready to fall
i am ready to be saved
i am ready for anything at all

frozen
ready to live
but not ready for this life
