One more of these winter days
Where life belongs to runaways of cost
All alone inside of company
I slowly smoke the remedies I've lost
Just a slave to emotion
Adrift in the ocean, can't swim
Back to putting on the better face
And let another winter day begin
[Chorus]
Tell them I'm still alive
Tell them I'm doing fine
But I lie
Twist and slither so the pieces fit
And fake a way into the bliss of love
We believe it beats the bitterness
Of staring at a puzzle made of rust
Unsatisfied with cards at hand
Believing that the dealer's but a man
Tilt the table, rig the deck
And cheat away into a better hand
[Chorus]
Tell them I'm still alive
Tell them I'm doing fine
But I lie
Sleep unsettled one
Sleep until it's done
Smoke into the gun
Sleep unsettled one
I'll fall back to my colder ways
Embrace the face that better says I'm fine
All alone inside the dream I've spent
Another day surrendering my mind
Just a slave to emotion
Adrift in the ocean can't swim
Guess I'm bound by the winter days
To never let a summer day begin
[Chorus]
Tell them I'm still alive
Tell them I'm doing fine
But I lie
Sleep unsettled one
Sleep until it's done
Smoke into the gun
Sleep unsettled one
