Lyrics:

I start off on a roll
A spark becomes a fire
Then the sky shed all their tears
And I sink into the mire
The story never changes
The Earth turns on its track
I play like a broken record
The needle keeps skipping back

And I can't seem to break the cycle
And I can't seem to break the cycle

The sunlight warms my back
All I see is green
But then the colors fall and fade to red
The needle skips back again

And I can't seem to break the cycle
And I can't seem to break the cycle
And I just don't know how to chase the cold away
And I can't seem to break the cycle

I look out to the future
To set right my condition
But thinking in retrospect
You show me what I'm missing
You said, 'On every coin there's a flip side
The winters of life will build your mind
Even on the coldest and darkest of nights
You're lit up by a billion lights'

And there's no trying to break the cycle
And there's no trying to break the cycle
But the cold never lasts and daylight breaks again
And there's no trying to break the cycle
