I could feel the cold was coming on
Don't know why I was so surprised
It's not like winter was new to me
It came as advertised
With every beat of my heart
I could hear the sound of a distant drummer
In the depths of winter, I found in me
An invincible summer
I curled myself into a tiny ball
So small I could go undetected
Still, I hoped that you would find me there
Heal the wounds that have grown so infected
I turned to God for my strength
But he must've been busy
I turned to my family
But they abandoned me long ago
I turned to all the things I'd built
But they were objects without feeling
So I turned away from all that
And I turned back to the person that I could know
I buried myself under a pile of blankets
I planned to sleep at least until spring
It was very my own way of hibernating
I didn't need a single thing
