I originally thought the line was "frozen cold," too, but listening really closely it sounds like "pools" to me.
The suicide stuff makes a lot of sense. My initial interpretation of the song was that it was about a family with a history of abuse. The stuff about the sister and her husband, the "They are the reason my love gets strong" line, and the bit about the mother: "Did you see her face? There are some things/Time won't erase." I saw that as a guy being brought to meet his girlfriend's family and discovering the level of dysfunction therein.
