Winter's Grasp
"Winter's Grasp"
[Verse 1]
Empty streets whisper stories untold,
Broken dreams shiver in the bitter cold.
Saint John’s shadows stretch long and deep,
Where hunger’s a promise, and hope falls asleep.
The wind cuts through like a thief in the night,
Stealing warmth, stealing fight.
My hands ache, my soul does too,
In a city of thousands, no one sees you.
[Chorus]
Winter’s grasp is closing in,
Frozen skin, the fight wears thin.
Hunger’s howl, it won’t let go,
In Saint John’s heart, where the cold winds blow.
[Verse 2]
Addiction’s a chain I can't seem to break,
Each hit, each drink, a smaller mistake.
The bottle warms but burns me whole,
Chasing numbness, losing my soul.
Mental demons scream so loud,
Underneath this heavy shroud.
Each step’s a struggle, each breath’s a cost,
In the battle for survival, I’m already lost.
[Chorus]
Winter’s grasp is closing in,
Frozen skin, the fight wears thin.
Hunger’s howl, it won’t let go,
In Saint John’s heart, where the cold winds blow.
[Bridge]
I see faces in the frost-kissed glass,
Warm in their homes while I let time pass.
My story’s silent, my pain unseen,
But every crack shows where I’ve been.
The frost bites harder, the nights grow long,
I used to dream, now I just hold on.
The city weeps, but no one hears,
As I drown in the weight of my own tears.
[Final Chorus]
Winter’s grasp is closing in,
Frozen skin, the fight wears thin.
Hunger’s howl, it won’t let go,
In Saint John’s heart, where the cold winds blow.
[Outro]
So I pray to the wind, to the cold, grey skies,
For a little mercy before my fire dies.
In the grip of winter, I stand alone,
In Saint John’s grasp, I am just a stone.
