Golden Tongue (Thanatopsis)

This Christmas, I am off the grid\nDon’t want nobody knowing what I did\nTo the hardest year I’ve had so far\nTo the day I don’t know where to start\nStrange to imagine we will both grow old\nStranger than the days to come\nCan’t read your mind, no I gotta be told\nListen to your silence, oh my Lord\nIn reality, it’s not that far away\nI make excuses almost everyday\nBut I won’t hurt you anymore\nNo, they locked me up, and told me what I’m for\nThere’s a wind blowing\nI can feel it at my door\nThere’s a storm coming\nOh there are cries for war\nAnd if you need to know that I don’t love you anymore\nWell I’m sure there’s something else you should be asking\nThere’s a problem in my head\nThere’s a stranger in my bed\nGather up my soul and then\nGive a piece to all my friends\nLet them know I tried my best\nKeep the love and burn the rest\nI want to live in outer space\nI don’t believe I’m for this place\nfar away from the telephone ring\nFar away from anything\nStranger thing, my friends will die\nStrange to wonder who will go\nIf it works out then that I’m still alive\nLeave me be, I don’t want to know\nin reality, it’s not that far away\nI wake from nightmares almost every day\nBut I won’t wonder anymore\nface down on my pillow on the floor\nThere’s a wind blowing\nI can feel it at my door\nThere’s a storm coming\nOh there are cries for war\nAnd if you need to know that I don’t love you anymore\nWell I’m sure there’s something else you should be asking\nThere’s a problem in my bed\nThere’s a stranger in my head\nGather up my soul and then\nGive a piece to all my friends\nLet them know I tried my best\nKeep the love and burn the rest
