Shahmen - California is Cold lyrics

[Hook x2] California is cold, I guess you didn’t know See when the sun sets, the shivers start to grow Go forward, press down any road Been around the world and still I wound up back home [Verse 1: Bless] Out the wild west gun show, smoggy and gun smoke Land of a million prayers, but there’s only one hope No one left to trust when your love becomes a cut-throat Another boxer knocked out on himself with his jump rope Lungs full of dope smoke roasting Toast to my folks who hold me close with devotion Middle finger, rusty knives, to liars who have spoken Trying to cut an open, space for me to float in These days don’t pace like they used to Every day I find and I lose you Walking down these streets singing songs Where the sidewalk never ends And they never lead home, bleeding out a palm From the wrist all alone while I’m stoned in the morning Trying to turn it into gold before my heart’s frozen Standing in the garden full of roses While my twin brother is in the ground decomposing [Hook] [Verse 2: Bless] The weather’s gotta change though, can’t always stay cold Sunburned skin, two horns and a halo Hanging with these beasts while I’m waiting on my angel Every morning Mary Jane and I wake up and tango No wonder where the pain goes Give me all the pot and gold, ya’ll can keep the rainbows Hope my arrows follow on where my aim goes If they don’t say my name and go and light your candles This fate don’t fade like it used to Every day I find and I lose you Whatever light’s at the bottom of these songs that I write Disappears in the morning but it shines every night I’ve been gone so long a lot of friends are now strangers And I don’t know the names of any of my neighbors Started writing poems as I failed as a painter Too sad for a ringer in this city named danger And every avenue they’ll meet your maker I’ll wake her just to kiss her in the morning time I can’t sing and yes we were born to die Feeling borderline and bored at times Afraid if my train left I didn’t board in time I stand still trying to remember life before the rhymes And I find a diamond in my spine fortified The Navajo blanket here to keep me warm inside Ignore the warning signs, the real war is inside, the real war is I Staring at this boring sky California is cold and this is Bless for life [Hook x2]
