" Cherry Coloured Slush"

Take your sad devotion    
your safety not guaranteed    
run through snowy pathways    
running through Christmas trees    
i swear i heard a gunshot    
i never had to run like this.    
     
In the meantime    
red and white mix to form ice    
cherry flavored slush    
the silent sigh of the speechless hush    
footprints as big as tire tracks    
keep on moving      
never turn back.    
     
Winter masks corrosion    
the flesh turns blue to freeze    
this tundra feels like a snake bite    
as the lungs gives up to wheeze.    
once again i hear a gunshot
i should never have to live like this!

In the meantime    
red and white form ice    
cherry slush    
such a rush      
in the moonlight    
whiteout obscures vision    
with nothing left to heal.    
     
there's been a killing or two    
animal footprints two by two    
i think we should form a merger    
because i feel eating meat is murder.    
     
And in the meantime    
red and white form ice    
cherry slush    
such a rush under the spotlight    
greed robs us of insight    
There is numbness no feeling    
Does there have to be a killing?
