(Verse 1)
The world outside? Just a blur, a cruel, cold lie
Ain't no road brings you here, just snowdrifts piled high
Got a shack deep in the pines, where the shadows learn my name
And the only light that calls me is this flickerin' fire's flame
Yeah, the trees they groan and shiver, like old bones in the night
And I just pull these curtains tighter, gotta keep out all that light
'Cause the dark, it don't judge you, the dark, it understands
Every broken piece of freedom caught in these weary hands!

(Pre-Chorus)
They say, "Come out, girl, don't you hide away!"
"Let the sunshine drench your soul, chase your demons to the day!"
But what they offer ain't worth the price I gotta pay
No, my spirit's got its own wild tune, its own damn rhythm to keep
And the secrets I hold, Lord, they run too goddamn deep!

(Chorus)
OH, LET THE NORTH WIND HOWL! Let it tear the sky apart!
I'm locked away in this darkness, yeah, I'm healinin' my broken heart!
Got my cabin walls around me, my fortress built of stone and wood!
And this lonely silence understands me better than anyone ever could!
Yeah! Better than you! Better than anyone!

(Verse 2)
Hear that timber groan? Time to feed the beast inside!
Throw another log on, watch those sparks just fly and ride
See these herbs above the mantle? Sage and rosemary strong
Keep the bad juju out, where it truly don't belong
(Guitar plays a bluesy lick)
Pick up this old leather-bound, feel the paper in my hand
Gonna spill my guts right here, across this barren, frozen land
Every truth a jagged edge, every lie a heavy chain
Gonna write till my fingers ache, wash it clean with ink and pain!

(Pre-Chorus)
They tell me, "Change, girl, let your past just fade!"
"Find salvation in the light, find the peace you always prayed!"
But the shadows know my story, every twisted, broken line
No, my soul's got its own dark art, its own damn struggle to fight
And the truth I carry burns like a star in the endless night!

(Chorus)
OHHH, LET THE NORTH WIND HOWL! LET IT TEAR THIS GODDAMN SKY APART!
I'M LOCKED AWAY IN THIS DARKNESS, YEAH, I'M MENDIN' THIS GODDAMN BROKEN HEART!
GOT MY CABIN WALLS AROUND ME, MY FORTRESS BUILT OF STONE AND WOOD!
AND THIS LONELY SILENCE UNDERSTANDS ME BETTER THAN ANYONE EVER COULD!
Ooh-ooh! Yeah! Understands me!

(Bridge)
My hand, it moves across the page, a whisper in the gloom
And without a thought, a habit born of an older, deeper wound…
(Voice gets softer, more raw and vulnerable here, almost a spoken confession)
I pull this sleeve down, sometimes just a little, a reflex hard and fast
To hide the roadmap on my skin, memories that forever last
Ain't no one here to see 'em, no judging eye to stare
But the ghosts they leave behind me, they're always goddamn there
Yeah, the scars, they tell a story, etched deep into my soul
And this peace I find in darkness? It's the only way to make me whole. Yeah!

(Guitar Solo - Instrumental with vocal ad-libs)
(A raw, blistering blues-rock guitar solo erupts, feedback-laden and soulful, reminiscent of Big Brother and the Holding Company. Joplin's voice might interject with a guttural "Oh Lord, yeah!" or a mournful "Tell 'em!" or a sustained "Waaaaaah!" as the solo takes flight, expressing the pain and defiance the lyrics describe, then winding back down with a final, sustained, bending note that hangs in the air.)

(Music intro: A lone, mournful, slightly distorted electric guitar riff cuts through the sound of a relentless, howling winter wind. A sparse, heavy drum beat joins, then a deep, resonant bass line. The guitar builds in intensity, almost a wail, before dropping back slightly for the vocals.) (Verse 1) The world outside?
