December Ruined Everything - The Murderburgers

I haven’t felt this low in a long time

I haven’t seen sunlight for 5 day

And now the inside of my mouth is a mess

Just like the inside of my head

I know I shouldn’t have dropped by tonight

But I just didn’t know who else I could talk to

And December never seems to listen

When I kindly ask for it to leave

All of this uncertainty and these unfinished bus rides

Are breaking me like you wouldn’t believe

So I just sit here grinding my teeth

And think about that beautiful smile that’s stuck in my head, I know she

doesn’t exist

All she ever seems to want to do is talk to me at great length about our dead

parents

So I get up, get out and start walking

And try to think of ways to make winter go

And as I slipped and fell on black ice, I felt no urgency to get back up

Sometimes it just doesn’t pay to get up

Just like most mornings

Lay awake and think about the past

A stairwell full of dirty needles and broken glass

Nights spent on cold wooden floors scratching scabies

7 years on, fingers still crossed, hoping that maybe

Someday I’ll sober up, and I won’t be a joke

And I’ll stop smoking half your cigarette before realizing I don’t smoke

And I’ll stop giving in to vices when I feel like life’s a lost cause

And I’ll stop going to bed with a splitting headache then waking up with a sore

jaw

And I’ll appreciate the small amount of time that you decided to spend with me

Instead of learning to hate you so that I can get this over with quickly

And I’ll stop checking for bad news about planes flying out of Scotland

In case they’ve crashed into the ocean with my family members on them

But until that day, I know I’ll always be

Your pair of broken headphones on your loneliest ride home

And you’ll always be that song about a fresh start

For which I can’t seem to write the ending
