Freezer Aisle Saints

[Verse 1] There’s a door that always sticks at twelve below Where the cold air goes and the good thoughts go I stand in there just to hear myself breathe Between the pallets and the frozen relief Someone carved their name into the frost last night Like a prayer written in blue-white light Said “I’m fine” in a shaky hand Like the cold would understand [Pre-Chorus] No one stays long, but everybody knows Where the quiet ones go [Chorus] Freezer Aisle Saints Hiding out in the ice and paint Counting seconds like they’re grace In a stainless steel escape We don’t talk, we just wait Freezer Aisle Saints [Verse 2] A safety vest hangs on a meat hook line Like a body that forgot the time Someone’s crying behind the stacked-up doors But the compressors drown out the war We joke about it when we come back out Like nothing heavy could happen down But everybody’s eyes look the same When they step back into the flame [Pre-Chorus] No one stays long, but everybody knows Where the quiet ones go [Chorus] Freezer Aisle Saints Hiding out in the ice and paint Counting seconds like they’re grace In a stainless steel escape We don’t talk, we just wait Freezer Aisle Saints [Bridge] It’s not holy, it’s just cold enough To turn the noise down in all of us And for a minute, nobody breaks In the freezer aisle saints [Final Chorus] Freezer Aisle Saints Breathing fog like paper chains Holding on in a metal place Where the silence has a face We don’t pray, but we still escape Freezer Aisle Saints [Outro] Door shuts slow… and we go back like nothing shows
