Fingers numb like the pages of a burned-out book Every turn pulls me further where I swore I'd never look Sky heavy with something that cuts through the air And I'm crawling on the frost like I belong there A fever rising But the fire won't stay It pulls me in and melts away The wintertime has the deeper narcotics It freezes you slow but you feel hypnotic Wrap me in the cold Hold me in its sting The wintertime knows the price of everything The price of everything Footsteps carve patterns in a brittle white maze Every corner bends like a dream half-erased Underneath the weight It's a hollow dance Each step I take's a losing chance The pull of the ground The soundless hum It drags you deeper till you're numb The wintertime has the deeper narcotics It freezes you slow but you feel hypnotic Wrap me in the cold Hold me in its sting The wintertime knows the price of everything The price of everything
