Lyrics - What The Seasons Change
i once knew this man who was cursed from birth,
destined to stagger through his life just to earn his worth.
In one turn of the earth this story takes its place
upon the summer shores of nowhere the place that he makes
his home he returns alone from a long day
having lost his job .... his home and fiance
the wrong way to turn was the path that he took, he pissed his savings
up the wall and on the grass he was hooked
the path that he took for granted had messed with his ....
he missed the finer points such as lessons in life
It was his word to be ... that brought the cool in his heart
And by the time the autumn came things were falling apart... things were falling apart
So now hes standing in the dole queue, this girl with the face of an angel says hes looking down but she has a way to sustain you, it comes in a powder form and its good for healing scars
but healing scars comes at the cost
of robbing till's and steeling cars.
Feeling far from obliged
he follows her lead, down a beaten path where the homeless wallow in seed
he swallows his need for pride
he cant hold his thin weight
so finds him self in a church
to control his intake, being judged by a father for trying to pave his way
he looks him in the eyes and asks hows your faith these days, i strive for better he replies in tones with sentiment
but i lost all faith in this god that i once saw heven sent.
He never meant to destroy all the things that he came across.
Its the sour taste of defeat on the street,
now all aim is lost, the pain and cost, f
or his mistakes but never even really a sinner
..HUH..Its gonna be a long winter,
His brow body shudders as the winter wind passes through him.
Thinking of all the people in his past that knew him.
The shafted or screwed him.
His heart is brewin for knowing what he must do
is seek shelter and aid from the love he once knew.
One last shot fo courage hits him then his eyes are blood red.
Inside he sees a man living the life he once led.
Forfits in to the anger and torture within
he decides to pay back mankind for her sins
jumps in a stolen car grabs a needle from the glove box, deciding that he never even really knew what love was, he kicks in the front door to catch em havin sex, slams him to the floor then stabs her in the neck
She kicks and she screams so he beats her till shes slack mouthed
realising what he's done he says dumb founded, smacked out.
Blacks out. Awakens in a holding cell knowing he cant see
hope tommorow is spring...
Time for regrowth,x3
So with the first light of spring the officer removes his chains,
his mood is pained as he re-enters the world his vision to regain.
Takes a step and says in a divine statement
'anything lost can be found again except for time wasted.'
He's right adjacent on a path to heal himself,
kicks the habit before he kills himself and feels his health
returning in the mental n physical. His intention ......
Though a struggle when prevention is visable.
Redemption isnt all its cracked up to be
he decides as he dreams of smackin up a key.
On the brink of life or loss,
not knowing what he's holding so before he fucks it up again
somebody should have told him.
No matter your status factors weve all been humbled,
no matter the foundation all solid things can crumble,
no matter the strength or length something sustained,
it never stays the same thats simply what the seasons change.
No matter your status factors weve all been humbled,
no matter the foundation all solid, things can crumble,
no matter the strength or length something sustained,
it never stays the same thats simply what the seasons change.
