lyrics

Ohio, my clothes are old
Tattered, torn and thin
Body sticking out through all the holes
And people stare
Please don't let them in

Ohio, my hands are cold
Their blue fingers thin
Ragged fingernails that catch and tear
At my old clothes
Blue veins through dry skin

Ohio, the air gets stale
In my little room
Steam clings to the windowpane
I watch the falling snow
Hope that it stops soon

And on the street are silhouettes
Some start cars, some fights
Someone walks his dog
And sees his landlord jogging by
Someone hugs his wife

As for me, I'm bundled up
Raw as an onion
Big old gloves on both my hands
My arms look strangely long
There's too much of us

And early morning
I must have dreamt it
A finger on my face
The sheets were soaking
The heater going
Steam on the windowpanes
And snow outside

Ohio, you know, I don't
I'll stay in my room
Moisture dripping down the walls
My hands shake and the snow
It's not stopping soon
