Forget December

On Christmas morning, outside was pouring

All was hopeless in this home

But no one's speaking and no one creeping

To see if she was on the phone

And you were quiet, this routine riot

Is all but practical to me

And if we see it, why can't we beat it?

Can we let each other be?

Forget December, it won't be better

Than I remember it before

And this month only will be so lonely

But not so holy anymore

And New Years Eve came but nothing had changed

All the problems just got worse

We sat in silence, no routine science

Could heal the sickness we rehearse

And if I'm talking, my words are mocking

The deaf ears they had fallen on

These words are tainted, the years are jaded

Innocence that's all but gone

Forget December, it won't be better

Than I remember it before

And this month only will be so lonely

But not so holy anymore, anymore

Anymore, anymore

Forget December, it won't be better

Than I remember it before

And this month only will be so lonely

But not so holy anymore

Forget December, it won't be better

Than I remember it before

Our silent night won't feel quite right

It's not so silent anymore, anymore

Anymore, anymore

On Christmas morning, outside was pouring

All was hopeless in this home
