Scandinavian Winter

from Scarlet Road by Thannos

/

lyrics

The climate is changing
But I feel the same
Should I drink more? Yes, I could
Well, I'm still okay

There's a girl smoking outside
Even though she's freezing

I guess habits they die hard
But mostly the bad ones
The old and the shaky
They raised one more glass

"And this one's for you" told me the man
Who's sitting by the bar
Must have killed his pain and that's his way
Of doing the same to mine

Oh, but the sweet smoker's mouth
Seems to exhale my tune
She'll be next door just dancing
And I'm welcome too

Then she'll grab me by the waist
And bring me closer to her lips
A Brazilian kiss to melt the streets
Of Scandinavian trifling chill

I'm halfway here, and halfway where
I'm going when the night falls
It's just like a dream
A continuous attraction
The circus is me

I'm the jester, I'm the tamer
I'm the elephant in the room

Oh, how I've grown, how I've learned
Hear me sing, watch me play
All the chitchat from way back
May just go to Hell

And the breeze is gettin' in here
Grab your coats and light a fire
I'll stand still the way I'm moving
And I'm sure I'll feel alive

Oh but the climate is changing
And I'm trying to care
Hear the ice slowly melting
Inside of this bar

Well, I'll trade you all my sorrow
For your money and some booze
Freedom's not the way I thought it'd be
But I reckon I can make it work

I'll make it work. I'll make it how I want

There's a girl smoking outside
And her name is "Someone New"
There's different show tomorrow night
But she'll be gone too soon

And then I shake hands with Michael
He's always around
Says that I should be careful
To not join the club

Well, I do not wanna die too soon
I feel I just begun
And all the weight upon my shoulders
Could it graciously just turn to dust?
