[Intro] Yeah The North back again Mint frost in my lungs Still here [Verse 1] The lonely North comes back again, unlocks that box of mint-cold wind, turns all my ribs and wrists to ice, my nerves, my fingers, bone and skin. It paints a forest on my chest, lays snow across my collarbones. I let a wanderer in my soul, now the North inside me made a home. Black pine, fir trees, dark spruce bloom, roots in my heart, deep in the room. It moves through veins like a wild wolf river, cold but alive, and it’s flowing bigger. Rounds my heart but never leaves, stays in the blood, stays in the beat. I opened the door with my own two hands, now it lives in me, and it never retreats. [Chorus] And the ice on me won’t melt, no, the ice on me won’t melt. I breathe out smoke, I hold this cold, I wear my winter like a spell. And the ice on me won’t melt, no, the ice on me won’t melt. The North came in, made me its home, now it lives in me as well. [Verse 2] Every breath got frost in it, winter smoke when I talk my pain. Can’t you see the little shards freezing white against my teeth again? Can’t you see that North in me comes back whole, indivisible? Boots freeze hard right to my feet, skin go numb, heart go invisible. Socks freeze through, my body locks, all this cold when I try to speak. That’s what happens when the silence breaks, when the strong get tired, when the proud get weak. Yeah, I know nobody owes anything to anyone, that’s true. Still this ice don’t leave my bones, and it won’t dissolve, no matter what I do. [Bridge] I let him in, I let him stay, now winter runs through every vein. I let him in, I took that vow, the North is then, the North is now. [Chorus] And the ice on me won’t melt, no, the ice on me won’t melt. I breathe out smoke, I hold this cold, I wear my winter like a spell. And the ice on me won’t melt, no, the ice on me won’t melt. The North came in, made me its home, now it lives in me as well. [Outro] Still here Still cold Still breathing smoke And the ice on me won’t melt
