Avery Lake - Jadis' Gift Lyrics

You left your friends I said they'd lie
The world's too sharp I made it right
I turned the noise into quiet nights
But you keep staring at the cracks in the blinds
I've held you here I've kept you small
The outside world would let you fall
You need me now I've built your cage
I calm the storm I ease your rage
It is always winter It is Jadis' gift
No one calls no one drifts
I gave you peace I gave you ground
Don't you see? You're better bound
You say you're lost but I made you whole
I shaped the edges of your soul
You think they'll care you think they'll stay?
The world will break you walk away
I see your eyes they search for light
Ungrateful heart it burns too bright
Don't test the ice don't take the leap
The fall's too far the pain's too deep
It is always winter It is Jadis' gift
No one calls no one drifts
I gave you peace I gave you ground
Don't you see? You're better bound
I erased their names from your fragile mind
I shut the door I drew the blinds
They didn't care they let you go
I'm all you have it's all you know
It is always winter It is Jadis' gift
No one calls no one drifts
I gave you peace I gave you ground
Don't you see? You're better bound
But I feel you slipping a breath of fire
Your restless heart your quiet desire
You'll find the door you'll leave the room
But winter waits it always looms
