An arctic fire Scorches the Earth Into an entire Frozen turf Of no worth Only hurt Where death and decay Are here to stay In winter’s way To my grave
The leaves are dead Like the teens ***** Who went to bed And woke up led To their reluctant stead
The branches are bare Like the love I share With those who dare Return my stare Of frozen care
My friends are chill Once they take a pill And let the ice build Until a giant ice hill Freezes their light will Seeing life as time to **** Their shifty shoes I fill
This winter has shown That I don’t have a home And if I want to be known I have to build a new phone Or get bombed by a drone So I stay in my zone Of an arctic cone
I was once warm In proper form Until I grew horns Like icy thorns And my icicles Are quite fickle Their knife sickles Until blood trickles On my frigid path Of winter’s wrath
I’m freezing to death Until there’s nothing left Except a societal debt Of a temperature set That was never met
