welcoming the winter solstice
from 12/7/2003

I’m fading into the sun
this is my oblivion

there’s less and less
of me to go around
cause I’m sinking
in this undertow town

I’m wading into the sea
this is it
I’m history

and more and more
I lose, I’ve found
what goes up
will surely come down

the dumber they are
the longer they fall
I’m one with the winter
spring birds don’t call

some are always to lose
summer’s waiting for you
but not me
it’s not as easy to be
as easy to be free
as it looks
baby I wrote the books

give it time
and your best lines
will fail you
I don’t mean to rob mines
but I got to tell you the truth

winter colors
are all the same
they bleed together
at the close of this day
this night will be the rest of my life

I’m only a boy
you can tell no difference
between my freezing appendages
and my choice

I’m only a boy
lost in the dead winter’s air
I’m losing my life
you can’t help but stare
you wonder
how winter could be
so tragic for me

don’t hang around to see

I’m fading into the sun
this is my oblivion.
