Common Market - Winter Takes All lyrics

This ain't no place for a man of faith I gamble it all away, tumble into fall abased and ablaze Can't fault or blame fam, they parade arrays of aid and praise Saints patronized by the razor blade Dismayed and fazed and maybe I a**ay the prize Stay alive or prepared – scared aint no way to die Though if my ache could be a**uaged by sin I'll make it bleed fate, racing to the gate pleading "take me in," I'm Down, unable to prevail una**isted Will the tempest hail another victim in cyclical rhythm? Please Break it, 'cause honestly the lie "I try tirelessly" is cowardice Powerless am I to fight this avarice, I'm Down, to give over control, the soul's solely yours Deal and dispose, but keep it real close and don't Break it, 'cause they gon' take it hard if I don't make it through And some are reaching for reason to hate you. Time and time again I've been told That I focus on the flaws of man's off-center ten-fold Stricken with the winter cold, sippin' the burnin' hot A spill will blister, learn not to leave skin exposed Stitch it up and pray the kid recover nicely And I might have if not for daddy's bad advice He's the type to fight God but not a vice Grip the heater twice as hard – it's this reality I battle nightly Even in sleep it seems flight's unattainable Upon waking the facial expression deigns a satiable exchange Weather shades drawn, either side a storm rages on Patiently the fawn awaits the day the rain's gone In my defense I claim it's obvious I'm not him Probably it's the toxin – sorry it's a lot been unresolved Sick since six, seen 'em revolve around a small town 'Click,' call it quits – bring all them walls Down, finally I'mma defeat the rival With a rifle, writing my epistle titled "try cycle," I Break it, so never they perpetuate the malady Abashedly accommodate mortality, undoubtedly I'm Down, to reconsider, I'll stay if you can make a promise though Please keep it real close and don't Break it, I'm warning, not strong enough to take it now And I'm investigating other ways out Will rebuilds what the bottle destroyed I'm downhill standing still at the bottom of Roy Where the pa** over I-5 looks alive much as anything Cling to the side and any sign of your memory My creative liberty is tempting me to hasten to the point of penance We could be rejoined if you employ forgiveness Sell it all, tell 'em hell is nothing but a cell wall I'mma soar even as the shell… fall… Down, shed not a tear for my exodus I'm here in the protectorate, the fear I held was delicate, to Break it, simply took a leap of faith and virtue Serve through, I never meant to hurt you, for certain I'll be Down, to revisit the dearest of my kinfolk Hold the spirit near, keep it real close and don't Break it, the creed is all we got until we meet again I'm prayin' you're gon' make it through the season.
