[Wool See - WB2014 lyrics]
Snowmageddon, snowpocalypse winter Blast
I watch as it all falls
And blankets the whole floor
The city looking virgin pure (so beautiful)
Might forget somewhere
Someone is doing worse than you are
So let’s go, Fourth and Burnside
Right to dream too
Yeah, there’s a price on free too
I’ll describe the scene hard luck
It’s not just hard drugs and fiends
Mental illness and runaway teens
All walks of lost souls
Buckle under they demons
Outside factors, unseen forces
Call them what you will, they’re at play
In determining which of us shelter evades
This is the hand that you’re dealt
No exchanges (Don’t like it?)
Blame the dealer, blame the game
Blame yourself for sitting down at the table
But what choice did you
Have? What’s free will?
We’re either pushed out the
Womb or surgically removed
Premature with no tools
No logic, no reason, no empathy
Just lumps of potential energy
As the brain develops
The burden reveals it's girth
Until like Atlas’ back, we feel this world
And some would say
To shed it's weight is to fully awaken
I’m working towards that point but
I’m not quite at it if I were
I probably wouldn’t need to
Write this passage
If it feels good I might make it a habit
If it feels great, shit paint me an addict
I medicate but struggle with moderation
I liberate from these
Constructs through meditation
End of the day, I just count my blessings
Say thanks and reserve my questions
Some of which might just keep
Me up at night stressing
But, I wouldn’t trade this
Life for any others, if I’m destined
For destitution I might eat those words
But, if the soup kitchen's open
I’mma eat there first
All the riches on this earth sleeping
Next to me in bed
And as a wise man once said, it’s all bad
Cause even if our love never dies
Both of us will
Most likely not together so one
Of us has to deal with that loss
It all goes back to shedding that weight
Easier said than done when God
Taketh his gift away
Somewhere a millionaire's dying with a
Needle in his arm and a sober homeless man
Is catching hypothermia
And they’re both good people
But this was just their hand dealt
So build it while you can kids
Then watch that snowman melt
