Winter is here again
It's about the fourth time this year, and we are all just praying for it's end
Yet I hope that November comes back in full swing
Cause this spring has clouded our minds, it has taken over everything
And don't you see that somethings has gone so very wrong
This snow has been falling for just too damn long
And I need a change of season not a change of heart
Give me one good reason that this flame, has grown any dimmer from it's spark
Who had any idea that spring could be so dark
Or that a dream of summer could leave so many scars
Now you found your faith in me
You shot me up like heroin while I took you in as ecstasy
But that rusted needle broke off in your arm
Every remedy only caused us harm
I guess substitution can only be taken so far
And even though I may be just a simple man
I will not pass on by, without making my stand
Against a world that spit me out, and covered me in lies
That watched me fill my soul with doubt, and put poison in my eyes
So if I die today, well at least I know that I tried
You always stuck around when the softest parts would start
But you ran away when the lyrics got harsh
Now I know that you only find love in your own art
You claimed this flame was dead and let these mountains grow dark
Led the wolves right to my bed and left the righteous to starve
Now you'll find that this dog's bite is so much worse than it's bark
And now I've grown and can finally see
That the best part of you was the worst part of me
My bones may be shattered and my veins may still ache
But with every step I take the earth will quake
I've drained all the poison and all the acid from lungs
And now I truly know what I am capable of
My scars have healed over and my hide has
Because now I know that I, I am enough
And I need a change of season not a change of heart
Give me one good reason that this flame, has grown any dimmer from it's spark
Who had any idea that spring could be so dark
Or that a dream of summer could leave so many scars
