Before it Snows

I’m mad I’m sad very rarely am I glad

Don’t you realize you took all I ever had?

Just try today to find a true comrade

Trust was once something ironclad,

The direction that I took

The treachery of love is the hook

Romantic suicide in my book

Some kind of hallucinogenic nook,

You were always pursuing me

Then all you wanted was to be free

Why were you always so angry?

Lord I come to you on bended knee,

In a world of contradiction

And you wonder why all the friction

All this deception and interdiction

It’s all a bloody game of attrition,

A battlefield of wounded hearts

Is everyone destined to be apart?

I used to think I was so smart

It’s always the good who upset the applecart,

The deadly legacy of wormwood

Destroying everything that you could

It was insanity from where I stood

Even if I prayed and knocked on wood,

What’s in the future how will we know?

Circle the wagons before it snows

A troubled world in its death throws

It’s so absurd but that’s just the way it goes.
