Lyrics

wake up to the snowfall
tired skies spill their turmoil
my mind is cloudy
as i sip silt from a coffee

thin whisps of tobacco
chimneys of the poor folk
keep warm in the winter
just to burn out in the summer

transfixed by the solstice
deep groanings for solace

toil hard in the morning
just to pass out in the evening
get paid on the weekend
i’m beaten down by the season

spillin guts in the cafe
to folks who’ve never even met me
stroll home in the twilight
i pray long for a respite

transfixed by the solstice
deep groanings for solace
