Sapporo from 生まれたての雪 by Lycopene

In this city of snow
And ice
And light
Despite the cold
I feel warm
And I feel I’ve been here before

Stepping out, I remember scenes
I remember feelings, tugging on my heart
Bringing me here
Maybe it was in a dream
(Or maybe in another life)

And here in this city of snow and ice and light
Maybe I could raise another life
Maybe in the artificial light
Reflected off the snowflakes at night
I could have hope
I could let go of my god
And start to believe in something more
In something beside me
Not hiding
In the shadows
Of an artificial life

And I’m building the streets to a kingdom of snow
And they’re not easy to walk, but you can never get lost
And I’m building the scenes of a life never lived
And I’m not dreaming this time, don’t say I’m dreaming this time
And I’m carving the snow in the shape of a grave
So you can bury me here, please remember me here
And there’s a park nearby with sturdy evergreens
And the foxes play there, look at their innocent eyes
And all the monsters I’ve angered have come to follow me here
But I’m prepared for them now, I’ve kept a place for them here
And I’m building the walls of my cold kingdom come
And I’m not shivering I’m not shivering
And I’m building the fears of my cold kingdom come
And I’m not shivering I’m not shivering
For the palm a tiny hand is melting a hole
For artificial light illuminated light
And the palm of a tiny hand is melting a hole
So I can always see out
And a smile so bright, there’s no way you could call it
Artificial light
And we’re building the scenes of a life never lived
Out of snow and ice and light
And we’re building a frozen kingdom
Up to the sky
