Six Feet of Winter

Verse 1

Cold creep on the avenue

Nobody out when the sirens bloom

I count the cracks in the pavement alone

Twelve blocks home and the shadows know

My name stitched into the brick

Somebody's watching from the fire escape

Breathe slow

Breathe slow

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what you buried in the yard

Tell me what you buried

Chorus

Six feet of winter in my chest

Six feet of winter

Every door I knock on opens wrong

Every door I knock on

Nobody answers

Nobody answers

Post-Chorus

Ooooh

Ooooh

Nah nah nah

Verse 2

Grave-dirt under my fingernails

Auntie said don't wander past the tracks

I wandered anyway past the tracks

Now the fog wears a face I recognize

Boots crunch on the frost

Something breathing where the streetlight dies

Run now

Run now

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what you buried in the yard

Tell me what you buried

Chorus

Six feet of winter in my chest

Six feet of winter

Every door I knock on opens wrong

Every door I knock on

Nobody answers

Nobody answers

Breakdown

Bleak brick

Black ice

Bitter blood

Bad blood

I am the thing that the dark sends back

I am the thing that the dark sends back

Bridge

Count the bodies count the years

Count the bodies count the years

Mama pray for me tonight

Mama pray for me tonight

Chorus

Six feet of winter in my chest

Six feet of winter

Every door I knock on opens wrong

Every door I knock on

Nobody answers

Nobody answers

Post-Chorus

Ooooh

Ooooh

Nah nah nah
