Unconscious, we try
And we linger on, we linger
Without reason, why should I
Will he finger us to die
As a burning candle flickers
in the wind that blows outside
While we're sleeping
United we stand
If to reason, then for treason
we'll cut off our angry hands
Watch them bleeding
Ignited, we land
This Fall choosing all consuming
Let be damned all those who care
Oh, let my life be laid bare
Woe, your egregious stare
Breathe every breath in disdain
Woe, This accursed frame
===============
Lessons are learned by attempts where we fail
And most of our plans tend to go off the rails
Hopeful and blindly we stumble around
Searching for answers where none can be found
But a man has to learn how to want what he needs
How to break from his haunts, how to bend at his knee
To pilot a ship with no rudder and steer
Through the rain, through the storm, and keep safe all that's dear
How to take on the chin, how to suffer his shame
How to bury his pride, and go on with the game
How to give, how to love, how to do what is right, how to take what he must after it takes a bite
How to hate, how to rape, how to murder and kill, how to cheat, how to steal, how to choke down his pills
How to scream, how weep, and despise all his deeds
How to put on his face till he's buried in weeds
Oh, let my life be laid bare
Woe, your egregious stare
Breathe every breath in disdain
Woe, This accursed frame

Every album that This Winter machine releases is more than just a follow-up to their previous work(s). Each album stands alone... you might say that "Kites" is both pleasurable and purposeful! poindexter5221
