October Comes Again (Reimaged)

She's still here...

I can feel her...

October comes back like a threat and a promise

It's the month I dread the most

But it's also when I feel you closest

Like the air gets thin enough to let you in

Two years have gone without you here

And it still cuts like yesterday

Three Christmases and your stocking’s still hanging

Where we left it, hoping you’d find your way

Oh, October's got his hands around our throats again

Cold wind crawling all the way inside our chest

Last night you walked back to us in a dream

And you never had to say a word

You just held us, we held you, and the world went silent

And negative space filled the holes in our heart

And I woke up crying, crying

We woke up crying

For a moment I thought it was real

I could smell your hair and I could see your face

You were older in the dream this time

But you still scrambled up on the bed

You climbed right back into me

Like you never had to leave at all

Oh, October's got his hands around our throats again

Cold wind crawling all the way inside our chest

And you walked right back in our dreams

Like the screw and the hammer and the bolt and the pin

You filled us back up, you brought back the light

And we should have let you stay...

I don't care if it's just the shadows playing games

I know that it was you

You were there this time

I could feel the weight of your Soul

Bruising my skin...

Pushing back the cold...

We'll dealt the dark!

We'll tear the night apart!

October, you can have it all, you can take the world away

But you can't have her back from us!

UNLESS SHE CHOSE TO STAY!

I woke up crying... wondering

Where you went.

Where it all went wrong...

I'll see you in the dark.

I'll see you on the other side...

Three Christmases...
