Refuge by ZaphB Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sparks in my eyes keep me company
When light has drowned out all the stars
Blank canvas fields, white and empty
A single beacon brushstroke in the dark
[Chorus]
I'll seek refuge in the snow
'Cause I have nowhere else that I can go
I'm not so foolish to believe
Hope is not a synonym for naive
[Verse 2]
I'm tired of grief and anger and solitude
'Cause lonely trees burn without a sound
I'm sick of lighting fires for other people's warmth
So when heat hurts I'll turn to colder ground
[Chorus]
And I’ll seek refuge in thе snow
'Cause I have nowherе else that I can go
I'll find a place where I am heard
And I won't be made to question my worth
[Bridge]
Grief burns dirty
And I am tired of smoke
I'm done with loyalty unquestioned and crying for someone else's joke
I'm sick of compromise
Not knowing my own thoughts
I'm tired of yelling from side-lines while everyone else can talk
Grief burns dirty
It's a fuel that fucking hurts
So maybe together we'll bottle the lightning of someone who did the worst
Grief burns dirty
God, I am tired of smoke
So maybe I'll douse myself in ice
[Chorus]
I'll seek refuge in the snow
'Cause, god, I have nowhere to call a home
And I will trek a path lies uncharted
And I will be a voice in something that I've started
And I'm not a stupid little girl
But grit is at the center of a pearl
And I'm not so foolish to believe
But hope will never be a synonym of naive
[Outro]
Sparks in my eyes keep me company
When light has drowned out all the stars
Blank canvas fields, white and empty
A single beacon brushstroke leaves its mark
Sparks in my eyes keep me company
When light has drowned out all the stars
Blank canvas fields, white and empty
A single beacon brushstroke in the dark
[Chorus]
I'll seek refuge in the snow
'Cause I have nowhere else that I can go
I'm not so foolish to believe
Hope is not a synonym for naive
[Verse 2]
I'm tired of grief and anger and solitude
'Cause lonely trees burn without a sound
I'm sick of lighting fires for other people's warmth
So when heat hurts I'll turn to colder ground
[Chorus]
And I’ll seek refuge in thе snow
'Cause I have nowherе else that I can go
I'll find a place where I am heard
And I won't be made to question my worth
[Bridge]
Grief burns dirty
And I am tired of smoke
I'm done with loyalty unquestioned and crying for someone else's joke
I'm sick of compromise
Not knowing my own thoughts
I'm tired of yelling from side-lines while everyone else can talk
Grief burns dirty
It's a fuel that fucking hurts
So maybe together we'll bottle the lightning of someone who did the worst
Grief burns dirty
God, I am tired of smoke
So maybe I'll douse myself in ice
[Chorus]
I'll seek refuge in the snow
'Cause, god, I have nowhere to call a home
And I will trek a path lies uncharted
And I will be a voice in something that I've started
And I'm not a stupid little girl
But grit is at the center of a pearl
And I'm not so foolish to believe
But hope will never be a synonym of naive
[Outro]
Sparks in my eyes keep me company
When light has drowned out all the stars
Blank canvas fields, white and empty
A single beacon brushstroke leaves its mark
