SeeMoreGlass - Alabaster Blues

It's always getting colder in Ohio
We've got the weather and the people
That make you lose all self control
Nothing ever happens in Ohio
Unless you're living through your children
While the bases are loaded
I'm already drunk on my back porch wondering
Is it going to get as bad as it did last year?
And I don't want to see the snow again
Don't want to be alone again
Winter makes me anxious
Over things I can't control
So when I'm gone
Whether I'm old or young
Well I hope that it is summer when I go
Everyone's so quick to cast a shadow
On their neighbors who obsess over
The things they'll never know
It's always getting worse here in Ohio
Unless your name is on the scoreboard
Or your spouse is at home
Just sifting through the pages of the
Dollar Store highs and lows
Well I'm already drunk on my back porch wondering
Is it going to get as bad as it did last year?
Because I know the alabaster blues are waiting
And I don't want to see the snow again
Don't want to be alone again
Winter makes me anxious
Over things I can't control
So when I'm gone
Whether I'm old or young
Well I hope that it is summer when I go
On my way up the incline I was skinning my knees
Did my best to fill my lungs up with the scent of the trees
Placed my hands down on the asphalt I forgot how it felt
Just to ignore all of the others and to live for myself
Well I was on my way back down the top was not what it seemed
I'm getting used to all these changes that are happening to me
The grass keeps growing through the pavement to cushion the blow
You'll never pass this way again It's all just part of the show
Well I'm done holding my breath in hopes that I will go far
I need to learn to be content with the way that things are
Cause there's no order in the chaos no cement on the ground
You've got to let all of the madness be your shelter keep you safe and sound
While the bats are in the belfry and the petunias are in bloom
And I'm missing you like crazy from the dark side of the moon
Whenever grace is out of reach, and it feels like hope will never come
And its only the rotten souls of men it seems are all that carries on
I'll find that motion in the chaos
I'll know there is love inside us still
Even when no one seems to care
And they only want to teach us to sit still
That roaring paper spring keeps me trembling in the dark...
That roaring paper spring...
