I was born in a city,
|
where the wind chill could kill ya,
|
and frostbite the smile off your face when it grills ya.
|
So naturally learned to make it out in the cold,
|
and carve emotion in the ice blocks hidden in the snow.
|
And it shows,
|
king of the winter bitter and froze,
|
with a head full of blackouts breakin through the ropes and I choke,
|
at every little punch I tried too throw,
|
but the devil hovered over me tellin me where to go, GO HOME!
|
And die where the heart is,
|
life has been a series of goodbyes that I've been fighting too depart with,
|
and hardships, shot down and buried in the marshes,
|
with nothing but a love letter stapled too my carcass.
|
Identify me,
|
feel I'm too far gone.
|
See the look inside ya eyes when the Blue's songs on so sing all of it,
|
try to harmonize when I'm gone cause at this point,
|
I'm barely holding on, come on.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
It's a cold cold world we face,
|
with miles of frozen road,
|
that I drove down on my way,
|
I'm as cold, as, snow..
|
Falling, slowly to the ground,
|
all around you..
|
|
Black ice forming on the tongue,
|
this is just another part of life.
|
Let it melt in the sunshine,
|
and freeze overnight.
|
I was built for the blizzard,
|
and lived with the ice.
|
I smoothered every flame,
|
that I ever tried too ignite cause of comfort,
|
wrapped up in a blanket made of snow.
|
Chippin off the freezin condensation on my bones,
|
and I can feel it in the mornin when it blows
|
and it rifles through the streets like a bullet from the cold.
|
And I know it, feel it on a first name basis.
|
And laugh at the games that it plays with my patience,
|
cause I've been lookin at the world through a glacier,
|
and know what it's like to be hopelessly underrated,
|
it's sick, spittin' the water under the bridge,
|
with a shivering image of what a fine life is.
|
Cause I've been fishin at this lake since a kid
|
I know exactly where to walk when the ice gets thin.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
It's a cold cold world we face,
|
with miles of frozen road,
|
that I drove down on my way,
|
I'm as cold, as, snow..
|
