Layover - Winter Days lyrics

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
