[Intro]
In the heart of December, where the cold whispers low,
I found myself stranded, in the biting snow.
Lenexa's shadows, wrapped in winter’s embrace,
A blizzard of burdens in this desolate place.
[Verse 1]
Negative nine, the world blurs and chills,
Locked in our car, with the biting wind thrills.
Twenty bucks for a memory, your ID in hand,
Complaints echo louder, as I try to withstand.
[Chorus]
Through the storm we weathered, though pain etched our skin,
Starving in silence, yet the hunger within.
Had to brave that corner, holding signs for our fate,
In the frozen chaos, it was love intertwined with hate.
[Pre-Chorus]
But I broke the ice to bring back some hope,
Hot dogs and dreams, trying hard just to cope.
Yet when I returned, nothing but blame,
Wasn't just hunger, but a cold heart aflame.
[Verse 2]
Wind like a hellhound, biting through flesh,
Every step a battle, the cold's bitter test.
Chips in my pocket, soda in hand,
Yet every small victory crushed by your demand.
[Chorus]
Through the storm we weathered, though pain etched our skin,
Starving in silence, yet the hunger within.
Had to brave that corner, holding signs for our fate,
In the frozen chaos, it was love intertwined with hate.
[Bridge]
But no one saw the struggle, the ache in the night,
Each shiver a whisper, a fight for what's right.
February’s twilight, pain hung so dense,
Standing on that corner, made no sense.
[Outro]
So here’s to the battles that no one would see,
Snowbound and starving, just wanting to be free.
In Lenexa’s chill, where the cold winds will bite,
I’ll carry our burdens and hold onto the fight.
