Snowy Daze

Snowy Daze
Always take me away
Out the window glimpsing
Inside, toasty reminiscing

Morning photons amplified on a frozen pond
Purple, crimson and orange Winter dawn
The leaves are all gone
And over the snow-covered valley there is a reflective calm
The smell of a fire, taste of cherry lip balm
Lace up my boots, 40 below troopin' it's on
Finding inner solace at times coldest
December solstice
Like life that's bitter, cold
I could be bitter and old
Like the Ice King
But that wouldn't be a nice thing
Today I'm staying baked like a cake, snowflakes like icing
A cabin at a hidden lake so enticing
Fireplace crackling, toasty, warm reminiscing
Spirits, names and faces that I'm missing
By the flames entranced
As they do their eternal dance
From the back of my mind
Back in time I glance
Seems like a lifetime ago
When I was hustling, shoveling snow for dough
Ballin' out of control, at the corner sto
Hot dogs, cocoa
I wish life had a remote
And I could pause, rewind and freeze time
Put it in slo-mo
A scene inside a snow-globe
A trinket on the Universes shelf
I'm the drummer drumming, days of Christmas, tribe, 12th
Big man checking his list
I'm making melodious gifts
In the ceremonious myth I'm the elf
The new meaning of the season the 1%'s wealth
The true meaning oblivious
They're cold blooded, amphibious
A child was born, a new age of hope given us
Merry Christmas
If you're stocking is hung
But cannot be filled
Then there's a spiritual hole
Cause that's not the point
Anoint your soul
And humbly accept the coal

Snowy Daze
Always take me away
Out the window glimpsing
Inside, toasty reminiscing

It's only 5 O'clock already pitch dark
A million little lights, colorful like my mind, spark
Another preroll in the park
Denmark to Bismarck
Leave a hashmark
Wherever I embark
Like Father Time a patriarch
So we're both automatically in the cross mark
This year my resolution
Escape the blizzard of confusion
And do what I gotta do to see another solar revolution
The world getting frigid, it's a polar evolution
Sometimes the only solution seems to just chill in the house
Crushin' porters and stouts
I'm storing up nuts while the snowbirds are breaking south
For good luck, I'm breaking out the pork and sauerkraut
Black eyed peas and collard greens, nah mean? No doubt
Snowball battles buggin' out
Frosty breath giggles
Tears turn to icicles
Glistening energy crystals
I must confess
Winter blues
Grey skies
Daylight savings time
Seasonally depressed
1,1,2000 Big Penn should have had on a bullet proof vest
Pour out some Rumple Mintz for him and the rest
In peace rest
Man, we used to spark a lot
Doughnuts in the parking lot
State of Emergency, who's down
Let's cruise town
Bumping new sound
Spittin' freestyles in the back seat fatter than my triple puffy goose down
These Lil cats lyrically brittle as a dead branch
You get buried by this audible avalanche
That you had to dig through
My joints so cold you think my lab was an igloo
Eskimo flow
Hit you with something so heavy
This track like a smack from a Yeti
Leave you confused not even knowing
The significance of snowmen
They may melt, but water will flow then
The crops will grow and
You reap what you sew and
The cycle has no end

Snowy Daze
Always take me away
Out the window glimpsing
Inside, toasty reminiscing
