And the fire it was burning
And my stomach was turning
Because everything was hurting inside
As the snow swelled up to hellish heights outside my home I realized that I was alone tonight
Didn't tune in to parades or reruns of a Christmas story because I have had my fill of that shit
Answered calls that came my way and gave polite conversations because I'm tired of being a dick
And the candles gave me ample light to grab a handful of self pity that I left on the counter
With the power out in town I salvaged what I had for alcohol to entertain me for hours
Recall the christmas mornings where I would come a-storming down the halls to wake my parents from bed
Stop and start to worry that I lost all my glory these past few years as new tears leaked from my head
So wrap me up when my time comes in something a lot less ornamental
I see the correlation to my fragile ways but no one needs to know that too
And the fire it was burning
And my stomach was turning
Because everything was hurting inside
As the snow swelled up to hellish heights outside my home I realized that I was alone tonight
Every good reminder of the life that I desired but failed to acquire's haunting
Never quite as plaguing as it is on winter days when there is no one around but me
So wrap me up when my time comes in something a lot less ornamental
I see the correlation to my fragile ways but no one needs to know that too
