northern winds came wistling through evergreens

like trains

one temper broods 'till a temperature breaks

and blooms-smashing and tearing what we've worked toward

one hand will break what he other hand builds



board the windows up

keep the cellar locked

we'll feign restraint until it's over and settled

our wills are just as strong as the walls we built for them

i won't rebuild what i have crumbled

i'm tired



what is faith- it's been replaced by insurance policies

one one thing breaks we'll just have in replaced

like faith... once whistled through the trees

now so still

one hand will break what the other hand builds



board up the windows

keep the cellar locked

you never know when little fevers- could flare up

for every day when it's calm, there must be something brewing

there's always something storming through these evergreens

like trains



northern winds came crashing and burning down our walls.
