lyrics

In this cold I feel something wrong?
In my nose, on my lips and tongue

Kissed this dog I just met
Is that wrong? I forget
I‘m starting to

Slip and falter much too often
Feel my frozen eyeballs soften
Feel my blood; it’s slowing down
Lose my sense of sense, of center
Areas I should not enter
Beckon me to hang inside them
Knowing I’ve already tried them

Asked myself, am I really here?
Can I help feeling what I fear?

I don’t arrest myself, don’t indict myself
Don’t belittle, beat, or spite myself
But this northern clime is beating me
And I’ve let in time that’s cheating me
Shake a pen to spell out the abrasions
Even then, I’m asking for invasions
Of rocks and stones and sticks and bones
And things that might have hurt me in the past
Come around, they come around, and their irritations last
And I’ve known, yes I’ve known what they’re chasing for
In this weather my life looks piss poor

Some regrets just won’t leave
In this cold I believe
Pleading for some slim reprieve
I’m starting to

Feel my fingers turning rotten
Relive actions best forgotten
Coming back to sink on me
Feeling pressure on my shoulders
Shouldn’t I, by now, be older?
Long outgrown the stink of me
Wiped that stupid wink off me by now
