Santa Barbara

Verse 1

11. A.M.

Shots fired

You screamed to get down on the floor

The shattered window

Becomes a crack through time

I see these moments

And start to fear

That our 4 walls

Will always be here

Long after I’m gone

Chorus

An ode to the old times

An ode to a child far gone

Far like an orphaned star

An ode to the ghost nights

An ode to a life I've made

At rest in an unmarked grave

Bridge

All that I've known

In time covered snow

All that I've known

Lost

In time covered snow

Verse 2

The missing victims

The frozen lake

I could hear their cries from down below

For years their warnings were ignored

With blissful ignorance

Inside our doors

So many seasons

Of charade

Laughter filled rooms

Warm holidays

With flawed devotion

You kept us safe

But through the cracks of time

We slipped away

Of our 4 walls

No one remains

Chorus

An ode to the old times

An ode to a child far gone

Far like an orphaned star

An ode to the ghost nights

An ode to a life I've made

At rest in an unmarked grave

Bridge 2

Time covered snow

Time covered snow

All that I've known

Lost

In time covered snow

Verse 3

December 18th

I found asylum

Inside the ward of a padded room

Through a fragment

On the wall

A dream has found me

Before the breaking dawn

I’m walking home

In the quiet streets

Of Christmas glow

Our last reunion

Beyond the midnight

I'm overjoyed

A small fracture

Of tender memory

A peace of mind

Forever I can keep

Chorus

An ode to the old times

An ode to a child far gone

Far like an orphaned star

An ode to the ghost nights

An ode to a life I've made

At rest in an unmarked grave

Outro

Time covered snow

The time covered snow

An ode to a life I've known

Lost

In time covered snow
