Winter Takes All
This aint no place for a man of faithI gamble it all away, tumble into fall abased and ablazeCan't fault or blame fam, they parade arrays of aid and praiseSaints patronized by the razor bladeDismayed and fazed and maybe I assay the prizeStay alive or prepared - scared aint no way to dieThough if my ache could be assuaged by sinI'll make it bleed fate, racing to the gate pleading ?take me in,? I'mDown, unable to prevail unassistedWill the tempest hail another victim in cyclical rhythm? PleaseBreak it, 'cause honestly the lie ?I try tirelessly? is cowardicePowerless am I to fight this avarice, I'mDown, to give over control, the soul's solely yoursDeal and dispose, but keep it real close and don'tBreak it, 'cause they gon' take it hard if I don't make it throughAnd some are reaching for reason to hate you.Time and time again I've been toldThat a focus on the flaws of man's off-center ten-foldStricken with the winter cold, sippin' the burnin' hotA spill will blister, learn not to leave skin exposedStitch it up and pray the kid recover nicelyAnd I might have if not for daddy's bad adviceSongtexteHe's the type to fight God but not a viceGrip the heater twice as hard - it's this reality I battle nightlyEven in sleep it seems flight's unattainableUpon waking the facial expression deigns a satiable exchangeWeather shades drawn, either side a storm rages onPatiently the fawn awaits the day the rain's goneIn my defense I claim it's obvious I'm not himProbably it's the toxin - sorry it's a lot been unresolvedSick since six, seen 'em revolve around a small town'Click,' call it quits - bring all them wallsDown, finally I'mma defeat the rivalWith a rifle, writing my epistle titled ?try cycle,? IBreak it, so never they perpetuate the maladyAbashedly accommodate mortality, undoubtedly I'mDown, to reconsider, I'll stay if you can make a promise thoughPlease keep it real close and don'tBreak it,And I'm investigating other ways outWill rebuilds what the bottle destroyedI'm downhill standing still at the bottom of RoyWhere the pass over I-5 looks alive much as anythingCling to the side and any sign of your memoryMy creative liberty is tempting me to hasten to the point of penanceWe could be rejoined if you employ forgivenessSell it all, tell 'em hell is nothing but a cell wallI'mma soar even as the shell... fall...Down, shed not a tear for my exodusI'm here in the protectorate, the fear I held was delicate, toBreak it, simply took a leap of faith and virtueServe through, I never meant to hurt you, for certain I'll beDown, to revisit the dearest of my kinfolkHold the spirit near, keep it real close and don'tBreak it, the creed is all we got until we meet againI'm prayin' you're gon' make it through the season.
