the world's a safe place
you don't have to hide away
at least that's what i tell myself at night
to keep my demons at arm's length

i breathe flames of asphalt under daylight
convincing myself it'll all be alright
when light turns to dark with all it's might
i'll camp out under covers
and be safe from all the hunters

at least that's what i tell myself at night

it pains me to see
the sense of relief
when the reflection in my mirror
smiles right back at me

and it's taken me a while
to finally get used to
the sight of you not by my side
but you're alone

.. and it pains me to see that cause i'm not

november winds are bitterly cold, they pierce through my skin
my love for you is ******, it’s dangerous as sin
didn’t think you could break my heart with just three simple words
didn’t think after all this time i’d still be this hurt

i told you i loved you, you froze and i sighed
i said i’m sorry, then uttered a quite goodbye
we went our separate ways, i went home and cried
you probably feel confused, confounded, and tired

december rain, every teardrop soaks through my soul
my soul is stone cold inside, they all turn to snow
you know they say one should have a heart of gold
i’ll be the first to admit mine is as dark as coal

i light what little coal i have to keep myself warm
i wish my brittle heart could be more strong
staring into the void, i watched my kingdom come undone
i just hope january would come before too long ..
