Heavy wool coat and a heart turned to stone

Walking past the houses that nobody would own

Cigarette ash falling down on the snow

The world is moving fast, but I’m moving real slow

Leather on my hands just to feel a bit of heat

I can hear the gravel crunching underneath my feet

Silver chains clink when the winter wind blows

I’m a ghost in the city that everyone knows

Ice in my lungs, yeah I’m breathing in the frost

Counting all the things that I’ve gathered and I’ve lost

White smoke rising in the pale moonlight

Everything is quiet in the middle of the night

Gold in my pocket but I’m feeling so poor

I don’t want to fight this feeling anymore

Sitting on the bench, watching rivers turn to glass

Watching all the people and the memories pass

Bottle in the bag, yeah the bitter taste is sweet

Leaving all my footprints on a lonely dead-end street

Eyes bloodshot, looking up at the sky

I don't need a reason and I don't need a why

Velvet on the seats of a car I don’t drive

Just trying to remember how it feels to be alive

Ice in my lungs, yeah I’m breathing in the frost

Counting all the things that I’ve gathered and I’ve lost

White smoke rising in the pale moonlight

Everything is quiet in the middle of the night

Gold in my pocket but I’m feeling so poor

I don’t want to fight this feeling anymore

Shadows on the wall, they are dancing with the rain

Pouring out the sorrow, pouring out the pain

Wool scarf tight, yeah I’m hiding from the world

Watching how the smoke has slowly unfurled

Empty playgrounds where the swings start to creak

Looking for the strength when I’m feeling kinda weak

Cold metal railings, leaning for a rest

I put my hand against the beating in my chest

Ice in my lungs, yeah I’m breathing in the frost

Counting all the things that I’ve gathered and I’ve lost

White smoke rising in the pale moonlight

Everything is quiet in the middle of the night

Gold in my pocket but I’m feeling so poor

I don’t want to fight this feeling anymore
