sins of spring

and winter was our mother
dying as we came
to every realization
that nothing is the same

and snowflakes were our daddy
flying away
from every sunrise breaking
on every broken day

and icy ponds were our brothers
desperate to breathe
just one gulp of air
that's all that they need

and winter was our mother
gone but not forgot
everything is melting
is it not?

and daddy's gone again
like blizzard winds
over brittle bones
and secret sins

and the boys are silent
like the aftermath of snow
every night 'til eternity
that's all they know

and winter was our mother
dying as we came
upon the green grass
and knew she was insane

yeah, winter was our mother
dying as we came

as we came
