[Verse 1]
December lights flicker through the window pane
Dad's sitting there, but somehow feels far away
Christmas trees and porcelain angels lie
While machines keep beeping through the night
I can't find the words to say goodbye
[Chorus]
In this cold December rain
Memories fade like morning frost
Silent nights won't be the same
When everything I know is lost
(Everything I know is lost)
[Verse 2]
Old photographs in dusty frames
Show happier days we'll never recreate
The coffee's cold, the silence grows
Between "how are you" and "I should go"
These hospital walls keep closing in
[Bridge]
F*ck these pristine halls
And their fluorescent lies
While winter falls
I watch you slowly die
But I can't cry
[Chorus]
In this cold December rain
Memories fade like morning frost
Silent nights won't be the same
When everything I know is lost
(Everything I know is lost)
[Outro]
The machines keep humming their lullaby
As snowflakes dance in midnight sky
I should've said I loved you
Before winter's quiet goodbye
Before winter's quiet goodbye
[Spoken]
Schlaf gut, Papa
(Sleep well, Dad)
