lyrics

I see it's been a fortnight.
In the next one I'll just ruminate.
I'll make my way through city streets
and I think I might have a whiskey.
It'll burn these thoughts right out of me.
Embrace this calm and emptiness tonight.

These fears I have
they just get worse when
the year winds down,
when I hesitate.
With these new surroundings
my memory resets again.

Christmas as an influence.
Christmas as a train of thought,
you just can't catch this one.
Why is my voice so tremulous?
It's so warm by the fireplace.

I am anchored by all the things that I can't tell them.
Not place, not time,
just the seasons as they fall away.
It's all the dreary afternoons
that I awake and I am still alive.
I feel so alive.
Do you feel alive?
