Permafrost
Frozen Reflections: J.B. Boone's Permafrost Tale
Lyrics
I bought a house, out on the town
I acquired a residence in the city
In a place where no one cares enough to die
In a place where people are indifferent to life
Too busy questioning myself, to ask them why
Too preoccupied with self-doubt to inquire why
And its hard, to whisper on the telephone
Communication is challenging when secrecy is essential
When the atmosphere is glass, and the undertow
Surrounded by a tense atmosphere and hidden dangers
And your bootleg faith is frozen to the floor
Personal faith is constrained and immovable
Do you ever question the things that keep you sitting down
Reflecting on the factors that keep one inactive
Oh lighten, I'm just pointing it out
An acknowledgment without criticism
But if my bones start to show through the permafrost
If my vulnerabilities become apparent through the emotional frost
I'll be walking home
I will return to my place of comfort
Home, home
Home
Home, home
-Permafrost, let me up, its been a damn long year
Seeking release from the emotional freeze after a challenging year
Oh, I'm sick of all these rules I've left unbroken
Expressing frustration with unbroken societal rules
Yeah, I've been grinding my teeth to get to morning
Enduring hardships until morning
Now they're bustin' down that door and the fire is roaring
Confronting imminent challenges and intense emotions
Do you ever question the things that keep you sitting down
Reflecting on the factors that keep one inactive (repeated)
Oh lighten, I'm just pointing it out
An acknowledgment without criticism (repeated)
And I'm trying to stick around
Struggling to endure and persevere
But I'm halfway in the ground
Feeling halfway towards defeat
If my bones start to show through the permafrost
If my vulnerabilities become apparent through the emotional frost
I'll be walkin' home
I will return to my place of comfort
Will you walk me home
Requesting companionship on the journey home
Do you ever question, do ya, oh do ya
Prompting reflection on life's uncertainties
Do you ever question, do ya, oh do ya
Prompting reflection on life's uncertainties (repeated)
Do you ever question, do ya, oh do ya
-Do you ever question, do ya, oh do ya
-Do you ever question, do ya, oh do ya
-I'm breakin' out are you listening
A declaration of breaking free and seeking attention
Don't lighten up, I'm done pointing shit out
An insistence on seriousness and no more observations
And I'm trying to stick around
Struggling to endure and persevere (repeated)
But I'm halfway in the ground
Feeling halfway towards defeat (repeated)
If my bones start to show through permafrost
If my vulnerabilities become apparent through the emotional frost
I'll be walkin' home
I will return to my place of comfort
Will you walk me home
Requesting companionship on the journey home (repeated)
