lyrics

The winter is coming, the winter is near
The winter’s all around us it has always been here
Some rep a jacket acting like it’ll help
But the warmth doesn’t matter when the tap has been felt

All the most important factors drip away as they melt
The dealer doesn’t gives a fuck about the cards you were dealt
8-3, 6-2 off-suit what you holding?
Cause a straight still gets royal flushed down the toilet

Mother Nature don’t wait
You were busy making plans when you heard the scythe scrape
Tried to reconcile priorities but now it’s too late
Looking back on your regrets as you step in the grave

It’s a one way street no stop no retreat
It’s a one way street no stop no retreat
It’s a one way street no stop no retreat
It’s a one way street no stop no retreat

You tried to make a left but it wasn’t permitted
You are stuck on this street till you reach where the end is
It’s long if you know how to live it
But most cruise control with a hole in the engine

Not a care for repair
Till the outlook is grim and you scream it ain’t fair
Took public transportation it’ll take you there
But you complained the whole way pulling out your hair

Didn’t smell a single rose
Caught up in the small stuff couldn’t let it go
Thought you had more time when the bus just stops
And the reaper says, We’re here. It’s time to get off
