Winter Season (My Secret Sin)
I've come so far
Grasping nothing more that memories of a fading star
In Search of a sanctuary other than a bar
A place where I can lay my head
Somewhere to I can rest my deepest thoughts
And shelter the molecules we shed
The troubles in this life of mine
The lover in this wife of time
Another christmas spent alone
Attempted suicide
But I'll never get to wake to a white dawn
Two stretches from a great moan
A few timely expressions from going home
Misery substituted for family time and childhood smiles
My only passion to carry on
How can I wipe your tears when no body loves me
So selfish, yet I'm only human
And it seems everyone looks above me
If I could look back it would all be past tense
Instead I sit here and swallow this glass of nonsense
I could only dream of egg nogg
Pushing through snow that covers my legs in the fog
Christopher Kringle
Spreading that warm feeling that tingles
That precious tune from bells that consistently jingle
Maybe it's all make believe
And maybe the cold winter nights won't take my sleeves
