Solstice 03:31
These gray scale skies are all I ever recognize When I look outside my window And I hate to admit, that I'm only as stable as the weather permits But that's the way it is And my hopes fell with the leaves And I just don't believe So I'll fall back asleep Shut down, shut out for a few more weeks These gray scale skies are all I ever recognize When I look outside my window and watch the time go It seems like these layers of clothes can't keep me warm Cause my insides are cold It seems like these layers of clothes block me out from the world And everyone I know Winter changes me Winter changes me This lifeless life I'm living only lasts for a few more months The simple repetition of these thoughts, doesn't do me much The wind came and chilled my bones I lost all comfort in my home I am fragile when I'm on my own This self-imprisoned mess is what I've become I am a product of a sky with no sun I am fragile I am numb When the trees are dead, it just gets to my head And when the ground is cold, I'd rather be alone And when the sun sets, my stomach sinks It's because I think too much These dead trees just can't seem to wake up fast enough

Contrast 02:52
Don't know what I expected Winter left me second guessing If the sun I felt was really the sun at all Or just another instrument I use to help me cope With the fact that I am slowly losing hope I'd rather live a black and white life Simplicity is key, but the gray is confusing me I consider myself a happy person But I remain uncertain of where I want to be and how to get there You may have noticed I have this problem, that arrives in autumn Where I sink inside myself But I never hit rock bottom And I'm uncertain, but I'm dreaming I'm uncertain, but I'm believing in myself again It's winter back in Boston, not much has changed At night you'll find me walking, these streets just aren't the same I made it through the winter I am no longer bitter There's just so much for me to hate I made it through the winter I am no longer bitter There's just no way for me to change

Mourning 02:30
Waking up to the sound of nothing is getting old And I'm tired, I'm dreading the mornings where I wake up cold This winter has left me bitter There's no way to better myself Cause I gave up everything the day the birds flew south You were the bird who stayed behind Too broken to fly away And you sung the song I heard That brought spring into a winter day You are the bird who wakes me up You are the sun that opens my eyes You are always there to remind; There's more to life than these gray scale skies And when you spread your wings, In search of blue skies, brighter things I'll remember the songs you used to sing Your voice remains in the wind Echoing, carrying the warmth you bring And I know I'll be alright Cause each day I'm closer to spring

Colorblind 06:13
The clock is ticking on me The clock means the sinking of the sun And I'm prepared for the worst Cause the worst has yet to come These autumn days are just like me They look more alive than they really are I look more alive than I am These autumn days are just like me A picturesque scene, but there's not much to see I'll be empty and cold before the snow falls I'll be empty and cold before the snow falls I'm so sick of these dead end roads And I'm tired of retracing my steps I'm coming back home and asking what's next To blank stares and blank faces And each year ends the same, with me afraid of change Stuck in the same place Clinging onto the brightness, slipping away I'm driving toward the whiteness, as the autumn fades So do I, so do I I drive to clear my head And fix my eyes to the miles ahead Lost in the snowflakes, I'm fighting the current And I've always said, That I'd follow in only my own footsteps But it's been an endless cycle and I end up at my doorstep Then Autumn came and I left There's nothing more unpredictable than New England weather But I know the outcome, I know the outcome Things will get worse before they get better This happens every year that I'm stuck in this place With no destination The leaves are falling to the ground The last sign of life before the ghost town And I'm not ready this year The bleakness is closing in I can feel the weakness within The season starts to set in, I'm already lost before winter begins
