Fairweather
Tracer Fire

Bleeding and wheezing and coughing on the floor
You left me all alone, so now
Don't come knocking on my door
When the sun goes down tonight
You won't be by my side
So farewell, my fairweather friend

It's unbelievable how people will change
Like the seasons through the regions each day
Plant a seed, your tree will sway on the beaches
’til it's eaten by the leeches and decays
It's so easy in the day
But the moon reveals the sneakiest of ways
Creeping in at bay, they greet you when you're paid
But leave you when you're craving an aid, feeling the pain
It's simple and plain, it's really a shame when the only reason they stay
Stems from selfish incentives essentially sent just to get
A little piece of the cake—they eat it then fade
Into obscurity when you need them ‘cause they breed in the day
But in the night they feed on the prey and leave you to break Like leaves when they change colours before they fall and
The better you're doing the more they call but
When you're down they're gone like when the sound is off and
If you see them in summer don't expect them to be there in autumn.

I have swallowed my pride and silenced my excuses
Followed your trail of lies just to find out where the truth is ‘Cause any argument would harm us and I’m targeting Solutions we can harness, you know the market we usually
Use to barter for compromise, but it's harder
When we can't lock our eyes
And if you want to monopolize the pride
Then I'll supply the proper time for you to spend on
Until the cost declines—you crossed the line but I’m intent on
Clearing the air to ensure I'm not there for you to step on
I'm using truth as a weapon, with or without harsh intentions ‘Cause blunt words have the sharpest edges
It gets much worse when you start confessing
And then your tongue hurts from picking apart the messes
I guess for us we're at the start of our ending
‘Cause when the thunder and rain hits, you're running away quick
When you want to be saved, I'll have nothing to say. Shh...

When the sun sets in the west
They will travel to the east
See, the truth lies in the moonlight
Where are they when you're in need
Will they be there in the end?
It depends on where and when
They'll appear when skies are clear
Fleeting, fairweather friends.
