lyrics

it's cold.

i woke up slowly at 6 AM
i think i'm too young to grow old at heart,
and except for the fact that the snow's hold's got me by the balls
i'm alive, and that's a start
i grab a hat and a scarf to shield me from the harm of the wind
but it still hurts, and at first it's hard to begin
up in vermont i'm cold like i'm already dead
with a hunger in my guts like i'm starving
i'll make my first stop at the deli for my coffee and check
work i'm paid for is hard to regret
around the corner to the bank to deposit that shit
it's all i can do to save what i got in this bitch
my wallet is thin
but i got twenty in the back
already i am wondering what i could do with that
i'm pedaling and fumble with my phone and my bag
i hit a pothole, and i hope my spokes don't crack
it's so sad, the whole town's in a cold snap
folks can't help but be bummed out and soul-sapped
always order in food to their fortresses
staying safe with a snack and a bowl pack
if only i could slow down, home-bound, and relax
i can't do nothing at all, though, so i speed past
them stop signs, making runs, tryna get my paper up
and i can't think of nothing else but this huge trap.
we're all caught up in our houses and offices,
forgotten by god and in doubt of an armistice
disarmament's gotta come quick like a blizzard
or we'll see cities full of thousands of carcasses
i ain't proud of my faults, and i don't hide where my strength is
but i need you to come alive and help eraise this
system's fucking sick, i know why you hate it
cause you're lost between real pain and fake bliss
i'm in the same ship
let's get our domes straight
we are buried beneath way more than snow banks
i'm off course and my horse got some froze brakes
i can't even seem to support my own weight
but i am warmed by peace
that is what i need so that i could feel release
in winter, the whole world fiends from a lack of green
i'm on delivery, in need of a sack of weed.
