Brain on Paper

Home for Christmas

Icey shimmer, white as snow

Cold like winter, fingers bow

The night is careful, night is good

Save your toes, ears under the hood

No place to go, no bed to sleep

A reason to die with a promise to keep

Stay alive, breathe for my name

No stupid lies, it's not the same

Remember my words and live for me

I'll be home for Christmas, wait and see

The storm gets worse, all roofs are white

Dark follows street lamps, mostly bright

Crawl on the ground, believe in it

A few meters more, don't stop, don't sit

Through the window, I see your face

A tired, painful, disappointed glaze

The smile on your lips and I'm satisfied

I've been home for Christmas, I happily died
