I Don't Want to Spend New Year's in a Coma Lyrics

A frigid wind rips through my skin
As I trace along the pavement's spine
The streetlights, like guardian angels
Illuminate this path of mine

Winter came on strong
But summer burns I know
Bringing flowers of promise
In bloom beneath the snow

Reaching toward clear skies
With eyes so deeply yearning, focused on those distant shores
So close I can taste it
Lingering on my lips, a kiss I've known somewhere before

Still all this cold has tied my tongue
A knotted mass of muscle between my teeth
I'm trapped inside awkward syntax
Begging, grasping for release
