Frozen Roads

I see a train go by my house each morning.
It goes through without pause.
These, frozen roads, don’t lead to anywhere beyond.
I’ll stay behind as long as I’m not forced along.
These frozen roads won’t lead to anywhere behind.
I’ll stay beyond as long as I’m not forced along.
I poke my head out of the window,
To my dreams that will not thaw.
I’ll never meet that driver,
Much less what is here to draw.
These, frozen roads, don’t lead to anywhere beyond.
I’ll stay behind as long as I’m not forced along.
These frozen roads won’t lead to anywhere behind.
I’ll stay beyond as long as I’m not forced along.
Flash forward ten years later,
Guess I’ve made myself amends
I’m not quite the same person.
Have dropped some older trends
No roadblocks or diversions.
That road saw a few hard bends.
These, frozen roads, don’t lead to anywhere beyond.
I’ll stay behind as long as I’m not forced along.
These frozen roads won’t lead to anywhere behind.
I’ll stay beyond as long as I’m not forced along.
I blew through town by moonlight. It went without a pause.

With All I Gave

Come by to my house this morning
Soft rain on the panes is falling
God knows how long I’d wait for you
If all of this time I’ve pondered
Could save just a chance I squandered
Might wake up with half a grip on you
With all that I gave, I lost it
Some day in the black you’ll find me
Should there be a bond that pulls us through
I just want to feel your presence
No walls to conceal your essence
Maybe that’s good as gone for you
With all that I gave, I lost it
Some day in the black you’ll find me
Should there be a bond that pulls us through
Can’t say that I know the answer
This code to the door they ask here
Admit that I lost my mind, that too
I’ll come to the edge where light strokes
And look where I might have gone wrong
Walk in my sleep to meet halfway
With all that I gave, I lost it
Some day in the black you’ll find me
Should there be a bond that pulls us through

Winter's Not Coming

Winter’s not coming, I left my home today
Winter’s not coming, no real good reason to stay
Apologies, excuses, no I’m not gonna change my ways
As long as winter’s not coming, I’ve got the liberty of life at stake
Winter’s not coming, and I don’t even care what you say
Winter’s not coming, I’ve dumped my stuff to sell
Winter’s not coming, I’ll have some stories to tell
— and I won’t be looking back
Burning some bridges, I’m leaving the old world behind
Gotta limit what I’m taking, can’t weigh down or slow the time
Winter’s not coming, and I’ve got some games to play
I’m almost at the border, the fine line of disrespect
The priest don’t believe me and the banker won’t take my cheques
If I’m out cold for longer, forget about paying the rent… Waaaah!
You can forget about it…
Winter’s not coming, I left my home today
Winter’s not coming, no real good reason to stay
Winter’s not coming and they all just say “Seize the day”
What's that all about?!
Whatever is coming, I’ve got some rules to break
Cause the seasons keep turning, and I’ve got a name to make.

Your way is a losing game
Might try to speak and fight
I will still live under your blame
But I won’t play your game
And I won’t feel your shame
Your way is a losing game
You tell me that I’m sharp
But it’s just youth to your rotten heart
And I won’t play your game
I’ll step out of your mine field
I’ll step out of your genteel
Don’t owe you nothing at all
Cause your game is a losing game.
Your way is a losing game
Might try to speak and fight
I will still live under your blame
But I won’t play your game
And I won’t feel your shame
I’ll step out of your mine field
I’ll step out of your genteel
Don’t owe you nothing at all
I’m stepping forward from this strife
Cause your game is a losing game.
But I won’t…
No I won’t...
No I won’t... Play your game
No I won’t play your game
I won’t, play your game
And I won’t feel your shame.
