I went home for Christmas
Didn’t like my gifts this year
I found myself some matches
And I smoked myself into the atmosphere
Those bells were ringing in my ears
Those bells were ringing in my ears
Red, white, green, blue
You know I can’t help but miss you
Those bells were ringing in my ears
Those bells were ringing in my ears
I went home for Christmas
Your ghost was the only friend I made
I went home for Christmas
A toast of the cheapest champagne (so good, so good)
Silver
Silver and gold
Silver
Silver and gold
Silver
Silver and gold
Silver
Silver and gold
I went home for Christmas
Didn’t like my gifts this year
I found myself some matches
And smoked myself into the atmosphere (so high)
Those bells were ringing in my ears
Those bells were ringing in my ears

It’s cold outside but I can’t see my breath
Traffic whizzes by and I forget the rest
My anxiety is always there
(it’s always there when I need a friend)
And it’s fair, yeah it’s fair
I’ve got hot chocolate by the fire
(I’m stretching out hoping the night won’t end)
It accentuates wintertime desire
(I can feel it in the air, in the air, in the air)
Reaching out to beat the cold
I don’t feel old, no I don’t feel old
Then it was almost like you kissed me
And I almost cried so sweetly
I’ll never be on that side
(but when you text me all those sexy things you said they don’t align)
But it’s alright
It’s a stab in the back to say the least
(I turned around and it was you that was smiling)
You can’t be trusted with the keys
(I watched it all, I watched it all fall down)
There is nothing left to mend
It’s the end, yeah it’s the end
Then it was almost like you kissed me
And I almost cried so sweetly
I’ll never be on that side
(but when you text me all those sexy things you said they don’t align)
But it’s alright
This time I tried so god damned hard
Fine lines were blurred out by some chords and strums
This high, this low, this anxiety overflow
This heart is gonna always know
That it’s alright, yeah it’s alright, yeah it’s alright
It’s cold outside but I can’t see my breath
Traffic whizzes by and I forget the rest
My anxiety is always there
And it’s fair, yeah it’s fair

Drivin’ around with you
Lookin’ at the Christmas lights
This is what I wanna do with my night
It never gets old
Having your company
And if I may say so, I love you holding me
But let’s not get distracted by such things
This is the season of purity
Listen and hear the angels sing
I’m glad you’re here with me
You know that I’m dirt poor
There won’t be any gifts
I hope you don’t want more than a kiss
The only thing that I expect
Is to see your beautiful face
I hope mistletoe is next, my sweet baby
But let’s not get distracted by such things
This is the season of purity
Listen and hear the angels sing
I’m glad you’re here with me
Can you hear the church bells ring?
It’s midnight
And I am wishing for a blessed Yuletide

Lately I’ve been preferring the rain
I don’t know why but the cold and the gray
They comfort me greatly
It’s not that I don’t love the kiss of the sun
A little time away from the horned one
Would be nice though, oh so nice ya know
Mothers mine
Goddesses divine
Forever is a long, long time
See how fast the weather changes ‘round here
And so in me, I am a mirror and I shine
We all shine, shine, shine
Silly emotions washing out with the waves
Dark green tree, clear blue ocean, wind in the pines
Sacrificial child’s inside
Fathers mine
Gods divine
Forever is a long, long time
Mothers mine
Goddesses divine
Forever is a long, long time
It’s snowing and I’m shaking and my mind is finally waking
This holly, this ivy, this wintergreen, this wine, this moon, this heart is overrun
The sun is gonna shine on this heart of mine, I swear to god
Goddess bless this one
Mothers mine
Goddesses divine
Forever is a long, long time

Proserpina, Soror, Lucis Latrix, Lucis Praeco! Revertere ab imis, et solem ad agros, ad silvas et ad terram revertere! Vale ad Orcum, et ad matrem tuam redi. Lucem fac tuam ut hiemalem vincas!
(Translated as…)
Persephone, Sister, Bearer of light, Herald of the light! Return from the depths and return the Sun to the fields, to the forests, and to the Earth! Bid farewell to Hades, and come back to your Mother. Bring us your light to vanquish the Winter!

Sitting on my bed, staring out my window
Christmas lights overhead, almost as white as snow
Wonderin’ why my blood is red and why I bleed
It feels blue when it’s inside of you
But you know it’s red when it leaves
Come those who wish to come
Stay those who wish to stay
Fare those who wish to fare
Harmless to me and mine
Three circles around the house
Bearing the Yuletide light
With just enough mead inside of me
To warm the bitter cold of the winter night
Slowly we danced in the snow globe, show me
Back and forth we were both glowing
Closer we’re breathing, just hold me
Time is a treasure that lights up forever
Sitting on my bed, staring out my window
Christmas lights overhead, almost as white as snow
Wonderin’ why my blood is red and why I bleed
It feels blue when it’s inside of you
But you know it’s red when it leaves

You can buy me when you break me
You can love me when you hate me
You can take what all is given
Even in this frozen river
That’s a blizzard in a snowflake
But what’s coming is forgiven
Shine on me harmony in a universal rhythm
Holly on the doorframe
Footsteps comin’ my way
Mama she’s in the kitchen, she’s makin’ dinner
Darkness on the river
Snowdrifts on the highway
Headlights comin’ my way
If I could do it all again I’d still do it my way
I was driving through the mountains
On the night when you left me
And I took the road that I don’t usually take
That’s when I slammed on the breaks
I slammed on the breaks
There was a doe in the road
At the fork by the trees where we used to pretend to relate
Soul touches the bone
No amount of gold could ever make me stay
After what you said
I know what I know ‘cause I walked the path of the lonely road
My darlin’, my darlin’
This Christmas I’m here for the cake and the snow
There’s nothing else I think that I need to know
Holly on the doorframe
Footsteps comin’ my way
Mama she’s in the kitchen, she’s makin’ dinner
Darkness on the river
Snowdrifts on the highway
Headlights comin’ my way
And I can feel it on the wind on this winter’s day
Dark clouds are comin’ my way
My darlin’, my darlin’
This Christmas I’m here where the wind meets the cold
