Songs Don't Buy Sunshine

Choosin' hard on a frozen road
Feel the frost runnin' up my spine
Somewhere in the hills, a lone wolf calls
I bunkered down in the tremblin' pines
I bunkered down in the tremblin' pines

Awaitin' whispers, blowin' smoke through my teeth
I wait in the snow for the time
With these scars on my arms and these charms up my sleeve
Well, these songs don't buy sunshine
No, these songs don't buy sunshine

When the man comes by, a black hood over eyes
He takes my hand without a sound
I close my eyes and I start to spin
Looks like my night's windin' down
Looks like my night's windin' down

My head on the floor, not a dime to my name
I stayed on the East Coast as long as I can stand
A hospitality is strong, but I stayed too long
I hop a train back to losin'
I hop a train back to losin'

Underneath her wake, I don't dare take a breath
Her current is warm and then runs
I hum a weary tune to this pain in my chest
But these songs don't buy sunshine
No, these songs don't buy sunshine

It's time now to sleep, but I'm afraid to fall
I'm so scared just to close my eyes
When the devils of the deep prepare to crawl
Then no songs don't buy sunshine
And then no songs don't buy sunshine

Choosin' hard on a frozen road
I feel the frost runnin' up my spine
Somewhere in the hills, a lone wolf calls
I bunkered down in the tremblin' pines
I bunkered down in the tremblin' pines

And the storm raged and then cleared
The moon was out and blue
She was there the entire time
She had never left
Patient, cold and ready to show her face
After the storm had passed
