[Intro – low, distorted vocal chops]
Yeah… January graveyard shift…
Wind cut like switch-blades, soul on E…
We still out here tho… barkin’…
[Chorus]
Cold feathers fallin’, winter keep on gnawin’
Heart carbide-carved, barely even thawin’
Weathered every storm or the storm weathered us
Either way we at her door like war dogs, furious
Bark! Bark! Woof! Woof!
Whippin’ round the county in a warthog, roof loose
More steel than Fort Knox, we extort the force
Drop bodies at the port docks — staple note to the corpse
[Verse 1]
Sleet slashin’ sideways, visibility zero
Mood blacker than the ink in a hearse’s rear window
Nose numb, lungs burn, every breath feel like glass
Still grippin’ the wheel, still doin’ the dash
Thermometer bleedin’ red to the minus zone
I’m minus hope, minus home, minus bones
Feathers on my Carhartt look like fallen angels cryin’
Every snowflake that land feel like another soul dyin’
Frostbite fingers still curl around the carbon-fiber
Trigger discipline? Nah, we barbaric, we wired
Tired of the tired, wired for the violence
Winter got me hibernatin’ with a nine inside the silence
[Chorus]
Cold feathers fallin’, winter keep on gnawin’
Heart carbide-carved, barely even thawin’
Weathered every storm or the storm weathered us
Either way we at her door like war dogs, furious
Bark! Bark! Woof! Woof!
Whippin’ round the county in a warthog, roof loose
More steel than Fort Knox, we extort the force
Drop bodies at the port docks — staple note to the corpse
[Verse 2]
Plows scrapin’ asphalt, city lights look jaundice
Every block feel haunted, every corner feel lawless
Got the .223s extended, magazines monstrous
Winter make a niggeh monstrous, conscience long lost
We bark at the moon till the moon bark back
Teeth chatterin’ Morse code, send death in a text pack
Exhaust cloud float like a ghost in the headlight
Last niggeh crossed us caught a snowflake red-eye
Port side, forklift tines liftin’ stiff guys
Duct-tape message on his chest: “Do NOT export these jots”
We not tryna ship hope, we ship smoke and despair
Cold feathers in the air, cold stares everywhere
[Bridge – half-time, pitched-down]
Yeah… we weathered it…
Or it weathered us…
Either way the paws still bloody
Either way the jaws still hungry…
Bark…
[Chorus – final, layered ad-libs]
Cold feathers fallin’ (fallin’!), winter keep on gnawin’ (gnawin’!)
Heart carbide-carved (carved up!), barely even thawin’ (never!)
Weathered every storm or the storm weathered us (uh!)
Either way we at her door like war dogs, furious (bow!)
Bark! Bark! Woof! Woof!
Warthog, roof loose, skrrt!
More guns than Fort Knox, we extort cops (woo!)
Port docks — note on the body: “Do NOT export these jots”
[Outro – fading wind & dog barks]
Do not… export… these jots…
Cold feathers… still fallin’…
Bark…
