Winter Feelings from Shag Harbour by Shag Harbour

I keep my head up
I keep my shoulders back
don't let my guard down
how do you watch your back?

I keep my eyes sharp
staring at the sky
please keep my heart safe
I cannot let this die

I keep my head down
hands busy with work
just keep on moving
how do you build self-worth?

I keep my jaw clenched
I keep my belly full
I'm trying to give up
harms that make pain dull

self care self preservation
I swear I can stay grounded
if we're in this together
tell me we're not too volatile for one another

I make my skin thick
I keep out the cold
please help me carry
what I cannot hold

I keep my mind clear
my thoughts float away
I keep it going
for another day

I take a deep breath
I count down from 10
I keep my head up
til it happens again

I keep my friends close
good people around
I'm keeping both feet
firmly on the ground

self care self preservation
I swear I can stay grounded
if we're in this together
tell me we're not too volatile for one another

winter feelings keep me dizzy
all I wanna know is we're not alone
winter feelings keep me dizzy
all I wanna see: mutuality
