lyrics

Rain, hide
wait on a bench in the park for the sky
to crack open and give me a sign, fine
I'll walk some more with myself trying
to pretend I'm with someone I need

I ain't got
the kind of trophies you keep on the shelf or
the bright photos to remember the days you
were happy beyond compare and chose
to show the rest of the world

Fear strikes along with the holiday bells
and I don't even have the strength to get out of bed

I fear I've lost my way
what's more to say?
I fear I've lost my way
what else to say?

Homebound, realize there is no one around now
Jimmy Stewart now I know what it feels like
when you seem to leave no trace behind your
passing through this rotten world

When the sun shined I hated every Christmas to death, right
I'm bitter, and cynic, and restless
oh father burn out all these candles
hope you notice this lame misery

I hope this all ends misteriously
and dumbstruck everyone will question their needs

I fear I've lost my way
got nothing to say
I fear I'm wasting my days
I hope that it pays
I fear I'll find a way
past Christmas day
