Winter by Elessar Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wake up and become aware
I breathe in the morning air
I throw open the windows
Cold air chills me to the bone
Standing alone with no clothes
No one was home when I arose
So I go down and blow some loud
Now I'm in the clouds
I just want to run this town, big gun big crown
I can see her now, she taking off her gown
I can still remember watching her go down
I wish memories could be played out loud
If I meditate can I levitate from the ground?
Can I alleviate hate to be less great somehow?
I watch the smoke dissipate in the dark now
But the tidal wave hits me in the heart, pow
[Bridge 1]
My breath fades in front of my eyes
The shades go up as the sun rise
Hardwood floor cold and the air thin
The winter wind gets a hold of my skin
[Verse 2]
The warmth of the mug juxtaposed
With the cold of the late December snows
Watching it fall through my mind's windows
I can remember those, what a sight to behold
Best time of my life, or so I was told
Oh well I guess that I'm getting old
They say its never too late to go home
But I can't cause the snows closed the roads
Ice in my veins, so I light a fire
Smoking strange, so I can get higher
Mother Nature is wiser so I don't fight her
Lying by the pyre as the snows rise higher
Tired from the days past and the future's weight
Been feeling this way for a few days straight
Sunset already damn man it's getting late
Time to enter a higher state and hibernate
[Bridge 2]
My breath fades in front of my eyes
Now I realize why the bird flies
To preserve any desire for life
Winter froze souls cold into ice
[Verse 3]
It's always dark so no need for sunscreen
It's always dark like its eighteen sixteen
If it was eighteen eighty eight next year
That would do as my cue to move away from here
I fear I’m tired of chap lips, scarves, sneezing I'm sick
Of this shit so I'm jumping ship at the pier just to hitch
A ride out of dodge back to the lodge, got coffee to sip
It rips my lips back from the frosty grip of the cold
And they say its never too late to take a trip back home
But I can't because the snows closed the back roads
And the frost froze under my toes sometime ago
Who really knows where we go in the time after though
Could one go back to start again on this globe
I don’t think so, at the end I doubt that I'll know
Dead and gone, or perhaps a new chapter so
Hard to accept that what was is no more
I close the lock on the front door and sigh
More snows raining down from the sky
Why did everything have to die and wither
No cry, I guess that's why they call it winter
The sun is dimmer and the clouds are constant
Providence is lost, the cost of a conscience
Thoughts of common causes of loss and death
All this drifts in my head as I watch my breath
[Bride 3]
Cold wind comes, watch the leaves run
Seas of red and brown, now the falls begun
The wind is truly free, unbound by dimension
Wish the wind would whisk me away to heaven
[Outro]
Depression is a sinking sensation
That stems from great expectations
It's a sudden shift that started so slowly
It’s so much more than just being lonely
When you're the only one who can’t move on from the past
No one cares and no one’s there to get ya off your ass
Laying motionless on the grass, nothing to grasp
Staring up above cause life moves too fast
I wake up and become aware
I breathe in the morning air
I throw open the windows
Cold air chills me to the bone
Standing alone with no clothes
No one was home when I arose
So I go down and blow some loud
Now I'm in the clouds
I just want to run this town, big gun big crown
I can see her now, she taking off her gown
I can still remember watching her go down
I wish memories could be played out loud
If I meditate can I levitate from the ground?
Can I alleviate hate to be less great somehow?
