"beware the frost"

I've heard some say

but I'm ready for that bitch

to bury for good

the things I've lost

and burn that fuckin' bridge

let the drizzle penetrate it good

freeze it right down to the stem

devour every single inch

don't want to be misunderstood

winter is coming, a cold hard freeze

bringing it's magical, deep sleep

dipping well below life's warm degrees

across it's landscape slowly creeps

encasing to exterminate

weeding out the ailing seed

leaving no doubt you've been terminated

disposing the unwanted weed

in case you missed the message

let me make it crystal clear

you're an unwanted, useless appendage

that the frost makes disappear
