She likes to eat ice cream in winter
When the ground is icy cold

She likes to eat ice cream in winter
When the lake freezes into its mold

She likes to eat ice cream in winter
Though I never quite knew why

She's liked to eat ice cream in winter
Since the day that daddy died

They ate ice cream in winter
One night, when she was young

They ate ice cream in winter
Before daddy's love was corrupt

When she thinks of him after that evening
Vicious memories make her cringe

The monsters snake her thoughts
And make her purge and binge

Harsh whispers in fragile ears
Play tricks on a child's brain

"If you really love me," he said
"You'll touch daddy this way"

She likes to eat ice cream in winter
Because of one pure night

She likes to eat ice cream in winter
To remember everything's alright
