Winter Snakes

Winter snakes sleeping in the lobby
I better find a hobby or I'll become a snake too
Sneaking out the courtroom just as the judge condemns you
Life is just a brutal game that we don't want to play
I almost loved once, said a homeless man in the fast food chain

Don't you know that it's alright
If we don't do something right?
What is this heavy light
Overcoming me every night?

Is it our fault if we're doomed?
Consuming me, consuming you
If you're tired, let's kick back
Lay in the Sun, take a nap

Winter snakes, do you know
How many times you've seen it snow?
Is it all in your head
A pretty girl in your bed?
Maybe I don't deserve
A single thing, not promising
Anything; a glimmering girl
A silver trout, a broken world

God's great grave, a funeral
A fire full of old books
Sleeping still, are you dead?
Do you want to be? Is that all that's left?
