"Summer thaws a quartered pill" - related to seasonal affective disorder? Would make sense, everyone's miserable in the Winter.
"My eyes hatch a still born penny" - this is all purposely ambiguous but eyes are generally a romantic thing, like people see their dreams with/in their eyes... so it could be that his dreams aren't giving him anything useful in a practical sense, like money.
In general though, it's all about the atmosphere the words create. It fits in perfectly with the whole feel of the album.
