about

Inspiration taken from Taffy, a character in Achewood (www.achewood.com) by Chris Onstad.

lyrics

I was a winter son
Don't let that steer you wrong
I know what they say about me
I just let 'em prattle on
I was a winter son
Due in the summertime
My misfortune is what
I can only truly call mine
Turn on the lightning box
Turn on the sparks and shocks
While the other sons produce
I'm the only one that rocks
Go book yourself a ticket
To go to scenic Wales
And you can tell 'em all about
Your futuristic fairy tales

I was born
In the snow
Will I amount to anything
The answer's always “no”

I trudge into the woods
As I am wont to do
While my brothers relax
And get fat off of their brew
I'm asked to bring back logs
To drag them back in tow
I keep their fire burning
It's not like they care to know
Because no one cares
About the only child
Born to howling winds
And unforgiving cold alike
When I'm back at the house
In a life I didn't choose
I chose to show those fuckers
Just what a winter son can do

Into the fireplace
I toss the morning's catch
Douse the thing in gasoline
And flick a solitary match
I set the basement boiler
Set it to overload
So when that particular baby's lit
The fucker will do naught but blow
The carnage all around
The splinters turned to flame
But I was the only one in the house
When the destruction came
And my family stood around
All alive, all told
They said “good fucking riddance”
And threw me right into a hole
