Bones replaced by prison bars

My knuckles turn to stone

The cold nips at my fingertips

In this crowd I feel alone

Melodies in erratic keys

The sky is heavy and bleak

My churning veins are more like chains

My fingers numb and weak

Gloves don't block the freezing wind

My surging blood now slow

The serenades begin to fade

I wish I was at home

Silver buttons bite my skin

Their shiny gleams are knives

The breeze knocks over our towering bodies

I've given up the fight
