December Days

As snow falls, my pain just fades I'm reminded that on one fateful day

That I'll have to watch you leave It's not a fair trade

I can't escape the way, yeah, the way you make me feel

Sick from the smoke, or is it you leaving me ill?

The trees die and buckle, cigarette between bruised knuckle

The snow's gone stale, drowning in slush, I'm dodging hail

The snowfall reminds me of my ex-friends

The ones I lost, but at what cost? I'm wondering if I was right again

The people who had raised me, who I had talked to daily

Only ever pass me in the hall, fuck this, play me back to a time where my brain was full of rhyme instead of vandalism, crime and numbers way beyond the time

I can't comprehend what a Christmas gift is cause I've never been present, I don't know what forgiveness is
