"Winter in The Shadow of Mount Shasta"
[Verse 1]
Snow is falling like my hopes crashing down
Empty beer bottles fill the room all around
Mountains whisper to the lost and the broken
Cold winds blow away words left unspoken
[Verse 2]
Lights are strung like fragmented dreams
All is calm but nothing's what it seems
Shattered glass ornaments clutter the floor
My heart's in pieces, I can't feel anymore
[Chorus]
Winter in the shadow of Mount Shasta
Freezing cold and lonely pain are my disaster
Long, lonely nights filled with anger and regret
And last year’s ghosts I would rather forget
[Verse 3]
Frosted trees are like ghosts from my past
Every joy in this place never seems to last
Hollow laughter echoes down these empty streets
Any hope I had is buried in snow to my knees
[Bridge]
Shouted promises have been lost to the void
Left out in the cold are feelings we can't avoid
Even surrounded by the beauty of this northern town
Can’t relieve my sorrow as the snow is coming down
[Verse 4]
Time stands frozen like the lake below
Memories trapped beneath the ice and snow
Mountain stands silent to my desperate plea
Another winter claims what's left of me
[Verse 5]
Sun sets early on these mountain days
Casting shadows through this frozen haze
Some say spring will come, but I don't know
I'm learning how to live here in the snow
[Chorus]
Winter in the shadow of Mount Shasta
Freezing cold and lonely pain are my master
Silent nights filled with anger and regret
Last year’s ghosts I would rather forget
