lyrics

Season change you put my mind at ease
you’re like an old windmill just spinning in the breeze
i see it turning, turning around again

We’re all alone and every moment
the earth stands still like it was frozen and
we’re silent, silent for just a bit

oh, are you the serpent? Just eating your own tail,
waiting for it to come back round?
Oh, are you the early wheel? Are you the late spring till?
growing up so high, just to get cut down

all of my fine intentions are just chasing the wind
and all of those winds are just batting against themselves
and oh my lord I find meaning in it all
but the thicker the smoke, the harder you choke
and that’s been on my mind

oh, are you the serpent? Just eating your own tail,
waiting for it to come back round?
Oh, are you the early wheel? are you the late spring till?
growing up so high, just to get cut down

I’ll consume the heart of you
if it makes me feel alright
settle for the gaping jaw
cos if it's all I know then it's all I know
and if it’s all we hope then it’s all we hope
and i’ll hug myself like an overcoat when we’re done
