A Long Winter lyrics

[Hook: Ceschi]

This winter lasted far too long

All that we loved sunk into fog

If one day without rain could come

To just make way for warmth of sun

[Verse 1: Sadistik]

What if every drop of rain's a letter from the sky

And they each concealed a message if you read it you could fly

Who would send it would you bet that it was God?

Cause it doesn't really matter if it's met with an applause

It's a testament of flaws I'll sit and face the skies now

Empathize with rain to anticipate the ride down

To find out how they dance between the paper stars

To embrace the dark before they inundate the night's clouds

Now that's an optimistic view

I can script a musical while options are reviewed

Pieces of me tend to die but I can miss the funeral

I fall into the view that my life is simply beautiful

[Hook: Ceschi]

This winter lasted far too long

All that we loved sunk into fog

If one day without rain could come

To just make way for warmth of sun

[Verse 2: Sadistik]

I try to find a pattern in the fallen leaves I walk in

But I can't find if I'm inside an autumn breeze or coffin

All I see is dark when you own both these irises

I attempt to bite my lips but all my teeth are sharpened

It's like I like to like to fight the sight that I've become

Like I like to like to find the night inside the sun

Like I tried to write the side of life that I've abided by

And by and by I strive to find a sign that I'm in love

Love is what you find when you're circling the sky

While you're burning all the white feathers learning how to fly

Searching for a sign or a version of goodbye

That could perfectly describe what was pertinent inside

I'm not certain but if I'm a brushstroke on the canvas

I'm scratching all my love notes on a matchstick

And when it catches the smoke becomes letters

And it floats on forever 'til the sun grows romantic

[Hook: Ceschi]

This winter lasted far too long

All that we loved sunk into fog

If one day without rain could come

To just make way for warmth of sun

[Verse 3: Sadistik]

If you are what you eat then I will eat my heart out

And wear it on my sleeve so it matches my apparel

Up the other is a sample from the tarot

So I can cheat destiny and gamble with the arrows

That they sling when I quiver in their wake up in a blizzard when I shiver and I shake

Love like a sinner when it's grimmer and I play

Tough to be delivered from this winter

Another night of wondering if it's the age of innocence

I'll plead the fifth right before I take a sip from it

I'll cease desist and try to break the dissonance

From the demon's lips just so I can make a difference

In this day without the rain

The sky is sapphire leaving traces of the stains on my skin

I'll never say it was in vain

I'll just hold my breath and pray that I can savor it again

[Hook: Ceschi]

This winter lasted far too long

All that we loved sunk into fog

If one day without rain could come

To just make way for warmth of sun

This winter lasted far too long

All that we loved sunk into fog

If one day without rain could come

To just make way for warmth of sun
