Em D Cadd9
another senseless week of crowded thoughts and crooked teeth
Em G Cadd9
morning frost and frozen sidewalks
Em D Cadd9
all those days that burn inside us
Em G Cadd9
swell up in the silence of snowflakes falling magically
G D Em
but the magic fades into the memory
G D G Cadd9
sleigh bells ringing laughing all the way
G D Em
cold hands of winter grasp as I gasp for breath
D
is this my last?
G Cadd9 G D G
no thoughts of dying no more self loathing for today
Em D Cadd9
so deck the halls with drunken folly
Em G Cadd9
swallow resolutions line our stomachs with illusions
Em D Cadd9
car engines sputtering like these smoke filled dreams
Em G Cadd9
mistletoes and colored lightbulbs
G D Em
and the kiss of winter fades into the memory
G D G Cadd9
angels singing ... lift me off the ground
G D Em
yesterday is frozen in the revery
G Cadd9
tomorrow is melting
G D Cadd9 Dsus/F# G
let's raise our glasses to these faintly falling ashes ...
