Herzogin vom Viertel - Cold Storage Lyrics

[Intro]
Cold walls closing in, ain't no way to breathe
Lockdown got me frozen, system's got me seized

[Verse 1]
Trapped inside these boxes, concrete prison cells
While pops fixes engines, mama bleaching hell
Essential worker bullshit, they call us f*cking heroes
But we're just cogs in machinery, temperature at zero
Nina leaked my soul out, spread my pain around
Unfinished thoughts exposed now, trust came crashing down
Youth center memories fade like winter frost
Everything we built here, everything we lost

[Chorus]
Frozen in the system, can't defrost my mind
Betrayal hit different when you're doing time
Cold storage feelings, preserve what's left of me
But this ice ain't saving shit, just killing slowly

[Verse 2]
Social housing nightmares, walls keep closing in
Digital compression, compress everything within
Berlin streets empty now, ghost town symphony
Turkish blood still flowing though they try to silence me
Mechanic's son, hospital cleaner's blood
Essential shit they need us for, then leave us in the mud
Nina's voice still echoes through these empty halls
Demo tracks she scattered like graffiti on these walls

[Chorus]
Frozen in the system, can't defrost my mind
Betrayal hit different when you're doing time
Cold storage feelings, preserve what's left of me
But this ice ain't saving shit, just killing slowly

[Outro]
Suspended animation, neither dead nor alive
System keeps us frozen while the rich survive
But spring's coming soon, and ice begins to thaw
Watch me break these chains and kick down every f*cking door
