lyrics

He didn't want to admit it, but he could see right through the trees
Where he had once spent time with many was now a vacancy
He wanted one ore chance to fill his cup with childhood memories
Where life had once brought him ease

It was easy to foresee it, all rivers dry in the breeze
But he could see the footprints of young necessity
He wanted one more chance to fill his cup with what had made him leave
Life bursting from angry seeds
Angry seeds

And, if the Escanaba was now more than a drop
He would still have to face his dying breath
He would still have to face his dying breath
If life were more than the regret that waters fruitful crops
He would still be fighting it in his head
He would still be fighting it in his head
He would still be fighting it in his head
He would still be fighting it in his head

"It's just a diagnosis, not the first nor the last
It may destroy my future, still better than my past"
With this hopelessness, it seems, he could forget familial wounds
But his father made him who he is, passed down the family ruins

When given the news, he didn't even cry
He just thought of his brothers, and the mighty Escanaba
The mighty Escanaba

He didn't want to admit it, but he could see his car through the trees
Where he had come for comfort, he had to again leave
The mighty Escanaba
