LYRICS:
seasons greetings, baby. i’ll burn an effigy of someone that i thought i was. more people kill themselves this time of year and i get why but you said “that’s an urban legend. december is too cold to wanna die.”
if it’s a consolation, baby, i stayed awake outside of nashville for so long.
‘cause even when you point a gun between my eyes, i could fall in love with you a thousand different ways but not a thousand times.
we could tell lies and i would baptize myself in fractals of your light.
one look in your eyes… tie me to an altar out of sight.
happy new year, baby, if i’m a hollowed out construction of your winter fears.
despite anachrony your letter landed at my door… you know i swallowed every word you ever told me but i’d surrender just to have a couple more.
don’t say you miss me, baby, ‘cause i don’t want to think of you as someone full of shit.
the silence lingers and envelops all our future plans.
you are a reflection of a person and i was nothing more than an exam.
we could tell lies and i would baptize myself in fractals of your light.
one look in your eyes… tie me to an altar out of sight.
yeah i know you can’t stay.. you’ll go home for the holidays. i know you can’t stay.
it was always gonna end this way. you go home for the holidays. yeah i know you can’t stay.
yeah i know you can’t stay. we’ll go home for the holidays. i know you can’t stay
just stay. just stay.
yeah i know you can’t stay.
you’ll go home for the holidays.
yeah, i know…
