lyrics

I don’t want to go
silent in my room
stare at fields of snow
through frosty windows

Death’s a latch away
love is in her grave
flowers in the vase
ghost in the gables

And in December rooms
I lock all my doors
In fire light and shadow play
I lie on the floor
as the mantra of passing days
dulls to a drone
I’m lost in my home, far away
lost in the rooms of December

Lost in retrospect
all forms silhouette
sounds I can’t detect
life slipping by me

The contours of my face
I never can erase
scribble out the child
that now dies inside me

Lost souls on apathy
who squandered their youth
make up the hierarchy
that murders the truth
to camouflage entropy
but there is no use
you know it’s a lie
You’ll die in the room of December

The seasons they used to come
sweet winds to the sail
now they come solemn
as a lowering pail
to rob all your water worth
and empty your well
as you die in the room of December
