Wrapped in electric Christmas sweaters,
Apple cider morning holding whiskey
Feeling nervous.
I watch average people out my window,
I see snow, unique and frozen.
But who cares that everything outside is dying?
Here inside it's a rave, we're all alive and close,
Sweating, comfortable.
It's the only thing tethering me to the Earth.
Staying awake is only fun when there's ecstasy involved,
Depressing news on smartphones,
Roofies and ice cubes.
So much excitement, so little time before death,
Might as well live in excess,
And then stop, suddenly.

Wrapped in electric Christmas sweaters,
Apple cider morning holding whiskey
Feeling nervous.
I watch average people out my window,
I see snow, unique and frozen.
But who cares that everything outside is dying?
Here inside it's a rave, we're all alive and close,
Sweating, comfortable.
It's the only thing tethering me to the Earth.
Staying awake is only fun when there's ecstasy involved,
Depressing news on smartphones,
Roofies and ice cubes.
So much excitement, so little time before death,
Might as well live in excess,
And then stop, suddenly.
