Someone New

With the sunrise I felt a chill and saw winter's first signs Anticipation, preparation for the ice cold Little did I know just what this forecast foretold Where I would go Where I would find home

Something else has changed with the seasons As the leaves fall with the cold winds And I remember the moment it began Guess it got a bit out of hand

'Cause I can't stand out here waiting For someone to stop the hail And I can't lie in this coffin While holding the hammer and nail I can't expect you to save me To rescue these feelings Now, I know what to do I will become someone
