land lies in bitter stagnation
the humid dreariness of summer drags on
[matching the mood of its inhabitants]
a sickly stench rises in the air
but no one cares
they will rot and melt into the earth
soon to be yielding rebirth
the fall is now apon us
all our hearts are filled with lust
we hide ourselves deep
these dark secrets we must keep
we disappear inside
those who attempt to cease to hide
become a shell
we have lost ourselves
an icy winter wind
freezes and fills us in
our barren, frosty souls
are worthless, dead and cold
most will break before we're through
won't live to see the bright green hues
the spring will come in all its grandeur
and survivors revel in its splendor
for a moment we are sane
then the seasons change again
