Windchill

[Verse 1] I was born in a city Yeah, where the windchill could kill ya And frostbite the smile off your face when it grills ya So naturally learn 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've tried to 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 I've been fighting to depart with And hardships, shot down and buried in the marshes With nothin' but a love letter stapled to my carcass Identify me, feel I'm too far gone See the look inside your eyes when the blues song's on So sing all of it, try to harmonize me when I'm gone Cause at this point I'm barely holdin' on [Hook] 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 [Verse 2] 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 And smothered every flame that I ever tried to ignite because of comfort Wrapped up in a blanket made of snow Chippin' off the frozen condensation on my bones And I can feel it in the morning 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 plays with my patience Cause I've been looking 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 fishing at this lake since a kid I know exactly where to walk when the ice gets thin Come on [Hook] 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
