(verse 1)
Off course, wasting away nights
our days seem tight, we're causing our own destruction
why do some feel opinions are as stones
breaking you down as they are thrown

(chorus)
There is no worse time of the year, this waste full time of,
the sun sets on a town, that doesn't know it's there, know it's there
And swept through the night sky
I look down as I, fly past an oak
and hope it's the biggest one god's ever made
and falls down like all of their hopes

(verse 2)
Above all the smoke, I see their trails
paths covered in ashes of hopes that have failed
And if you ask just as wind bends
October will show, you all of their winter trends

(final chorus)
I am the bringer of bad news today, I am so sorry too
I am the bringer of bad news today, I am so sorry too
We're riding the drifts, we're riding the drifts down to
we're causing us to destroy
We're riding the drifts, we're riding these drifts down to
and causing us to destroy
