December Lyrics

Half-awake and dreaming, what do you see?

As you're looking through me having morphine dreams

Who talks to you gently? Who reaches for your hand?

Who's nodding unconvincingly to things he can't understand?

Amidst disjointed stories of places you've been

How you ended up living in this animal skin

In this body so weak, so not like you're own

In this body that is so far gone that it will never return home.

Trying hard to understand with so much that I'm trying not to show

We still had so much planned, you were gonna watch my babies grow

I'll take you by the hand, and I'm never gonna let you go

I'll never let you go

Whispering your plans now of leaving with me

To anywhere that living is free of machines

I said I'd pick you up and I'd run with you, but the snow is too deep

You'll make your escape in your own sweet time, for now

Just get some sleep

I can see the time when I look in your eyes

I can see what medicine no longer defies

I don't know the dignified way I should be

I don't even know if you can hear me

I can see the time when I look in your eyes

I can see what medicine no longer defies

I don't know the dignified way I should be

I don't even know if you can hear me

I know that this is selfish but please don't go

Where I can't follow

I can't follow

I know that this is selfish but please don't go

Where I can't follow

I can't follow
