Animals in Winter

from Callous Year by Steev baker

lyrics

1
Let me take you back to the days before
The chicken pox vaccine—
Those scars along my shoulders
From when I was just 15—
No matter how strong the medicine
Or how smart the therapy
Sometimes they itch,
Sometimes uncontrollably.

And then the weather changed
And washed it all away
Like the opposite of some amazing grace
The snow threatened to bury us again
We had lost ourselves in hibernation
Like animals in winter
We were waiting for thaw
To wake us up and move us on
But somehow we slept through it all…

2
It didn’t seem like too long ago
We had promises to keep
But the road that takes us there
Is so narrow and steep
You changed you name
And grew out your hair for me
And all the while I was growing
Something else entirely.

But then the weather changed
And washed it all away
Like the opposite of some amazing grace
The snow threatened to bury us again
We had lost ourselves in hibernation
Like animals in winter
We were waiting for thaw
To wake us up and move us on
But somehow we slept through it all…
