Winters Heart

They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow
So I have been told

How can you love when you've had ya heart filled full of snow?
Wind brings a hollow soul where no man will go
How can it grow when there ain't warmth for it to hold?
So I stand in cold, waited for the days old
Mold snow into a hand, grab it if you can
All I wanted was for you to say I can

Land turned into the arctic, frozen in time
Clock beats as snow pores through sands of time
Sunshine never enters that horizon line
Chalk outline, lined with my bodily flesh
Around the spot to the left of my chest
Lest this story be told, never unfold what happens next
'Cause it's a test to check what will occur when the world's at its best
Will you fall into the line? Or stand out from the rest?

They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow
So I have been told
They say we're very far
Just like the distance I simply cannot hold

How can you breathe when your lungs push out ice from ya chest?
At best, your tears freeze on contact with your flesh
Mr. Frosty, where have you been?
Cold binds and pipe and a heart full of sin
Forced to walk in the wind, weathered by the freezing strikes that hard
Trying to turn the bad cards to a royal flush
But hush, you only salt the ice to dark mush

Slush that sticks to the walls of your arteries
Shotgun blast try to murder me
But you can live in the frozen abyss or head home
Live with guilt or clear the icebergs straight outta ya dome
Neva live alone, reach up to the sky, ask why
Or live in the storm 'til the day that you die
But blue eyes never look the same when they frozen to gray

They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow
So I have been told
They say we're very far
Just like the distance I simply cannot hold

How can you walk when your feet are frozen in ice?
Standing in the cold water then you pay the price
Rollin' the dice hopin' to gain a single step out of your vice
But you'll say, "Fill another cup, make sure you add ice"
It's a game between mice and men, fights within
A life based on what's right and sin
And it's constant battle to him who chooses to grin
Who never wants the sun to come out and win

So sit in ya frozen corpse and move through the day
Stiff to the world and things that I say
It's a cold winter day when the snow's inside
Ya temple at a still, forced to halt from ya pride
But today is the day I grind away the deep sheet
Let the water dry and heal from the beat
Let the heat come in and remove the snow
Now you know this is how that story goes
Yeah, this is how the story goes
Stand up and see

They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow
So I have been told
They say we're very far
Just like the distance I simply cannot hold

They say that things just cannot grow beneath the winter snow
So I have been told
They say we're very far
Just like the distance I simply cannot hold

La la la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la
