Cold Holiday: Freeze

Share This Post

“Freeze” is the eighth track on Cold Holiday’s 2023 album “We Are All We Have.”

There’s a voice I hear that says it’s brave to run
it just depends what you’re running from
If you’re called to your station, don’t take the call
Just stand still instead of standing tall

Freeze when it’s time to go
Don’t look back, don’t find your way home

This job is to worry
I’ve done it for free
My finest hour is bringing out the worst in me
I’ve never tried harder
I’ve never felt worse
And all along I’ve told myself that none of it hurts

Freeze when it’s time to go
Don’t look back, don’t find your way home

There’s a voice I hear
And it echoes through this space
Do you disappear
If you’re frozen in place?
When you’re hiding out
What is gained, who is saved?
What’s tomorrow worth
If you give away today?
