A raw demo of Suffer Summer, a song written in June 2012.
lyrics
What to do when this old river runs dry
When words of truth are covered up by lies
Skies of blue turn greyer every day
What to do when sunshine runs away
Do we paint more color
While we suffer summer
This heat will wear a heart out
Do we pray for winter
As we suffer summer
Pick out the splinters
She stabbed me with a stake
Please pull it out
Please pull it out
What to do when smiles are running out
Broken faces due to constant doubt
Told me things she wanted me to know
Guess she told me and then had to go
Do we paint more colors
While we suffer summer
This heat will wear a heart out
Do we pray for winter
As we suffer summer
Pick out the splinters
She stabbed me with a stake
Please pull it out
Please pull it out
Lovers want so badly to believe
The heart that’s lying close will not deceive
Perfect love is not reality
Face the fact she got the best of me
Do we paint more colors
While we summer
This heat will wear a heart out
Do we pray for winter
As we suffer summer
Pick out the splinters
She stabbed me with a stake
Please pull it out
