Seasons

about

“Seasons” has been around in some capacity the longest of any song on Weak Bones. The opening riff taken from a very short song called “Orange Juice” that I wrote for one of my first bands. It was the first riff I wrote that used odd time signatures, even though I didn’t know I was writing it that way. The main part is in 5/4, with a blurb of 6/4 then to a back and forth between 5/4 and 4/4. Only the first 30 seconds of “Orange Juice” remains in “Seasons,” after that is a completely new song, and only one of two on this record that feature clean vocals. If you ask nicely, I might search my computer and give you a demo of the original “Orange Juice”.

lyrics

Cold
Up to the light
Renew
Regain my sight

Breathe
My lungs fill up
Sunlight
This is enough

The leaves fall down
And autumn casts its
Shadow

The days grow short
While my hands wither

This winter
Won’t end
The spring will
Never come

Warmth is a
Facade
Your time on earth
Is done

New growth

For all the days I spent
Alone in the cold dirt
For all the countless nights
I swore I would die

When it seemed as if the
Sun disappeared
I looked in my own eyes,
My grace came from the inside

My grace came from the inside

I swear to god
I’ll take this
With me
To my death bed

I must forgive
I can’t forget
Cause this is
Who I am

I wouldn’t
Be here
If you didn’t
Destroy me

I couldn’t
See this clear
Til you
Destroyed me

You cut me out
Like I'm nothing
Left me for dead
Now I'm out of your head

But you can't kill me
So easy
The spring will come
And my roots will grow deep

I see your image at night
Your face is burnt into my eyes
Your words as stars in the night sky
Slowly eating me up from the inside.

Winter is dead I survived, I survived
Feet in the dirt, but my eyes in the sky
The sun every day, it will rise, it will rise
I'll live this life with my eyes to the sky
