Lyrics

I’m 27 living in the shelters and on the streets;
Fighting a 10yr war with PTSD;
I’m sure you got your thoughts about how I got here;
Give me some time and I’ll walk you through my fear;
You may think it easy to put me in a mold;
But I’m just out here fighting off the cold…..ohhh fighting off the cold (x2)

On the concrete streets when your mind goes numb
You start to think of reasons you’re here and what you’ve done
I ain’t proud to say that I’ve tried every drug known
Just trying to find that shadow I could call home
When you’re chasing that dragon, it makes you feel bold;
But in the end all I’m doing is fighting off the cold….ohhhh fighting off the cold (x2)

I know how I must look scrounging on the streets
With my clothes all dirty just staving off defeat
When the heat of the summer burns me down
I hope for the rain to come and wash away the town
When the winter comes around, I stand in the bitter snow
And I seek for anything that’ll help me I can’t let go….ohhh just fighting off the cold (x2)

When you run real hot sometimes you get burned
All I can be is grateful for the lessons learned
We want something from nothing while our dreams on hold
But nothing is something when you’re fighting off the cold….ohhh just fighing off the cold (x4)
