Summer burned me
Lost my bite
This winter will save me, I can feel it coming
Like the birch I shed my skin, reveal eyes
Keep 'em pointed at you, summer dog is gone
My coat still hangs by the doorway
It still remembers the snow
I'm sorry I failed you, I can still be better
I'll be stronger, slip back on my collar
Let the spikes remind me why I'm separate
I lost sight of what's important
I'll keep my heart in control
All I am is not enough
I'll learn to like it rough
Bend me, break me
Show me your control
Now I'm weaker
Easy prey
Let my boundaries
Fall away
I know that you love me, you don't want to hurt me
You just need to make sure that I'm ready
I'm too weak to face what's coming for me
Your pain is getting familiar
I almost can't tell it's there
I was made for hardship, I was made for labor
Look and see the thorns upon my shoulder
Send me to the fields with all that's precious
I can't remember my own name
Call me whatever you like
All I am is not enough
I'll learn to like it rough
Bend me, break me
Show me your control
This winter will save me, I can feel it coming
Like the birch I shed my skin, reveal eyes
Keep them pointed at you, summer dog is gone
My coat still hangs by the doorway
It still remembers the snow
I was made for hardship, I was made for labor
Look and see the thorns upon my shoulder
Send me to the fields with all that's precious
I can't remember my own name
Call me whatever you like
All I am is not enough
I'll learn to like it rough
Bend me, break me
Show me your control
Oh
