Lyrics
I make myself tea in an orange kettle
a woman gave to me it was her grandmother's
and I'm not getting out of bed today
the world is frozen and the sky is grey
got a couple books I wanna finish reading
gotta couple years I gotta keep on sleeping through
writing letters in my mind
with various forms of blue
point of view has gotten kind of hazy
perspective's less objective losing creativity
saw a nativity scene on my tv screen
and swear to god baby jesus winked at me
turn down the heat and I pull up the covers
throw a couple hail marys thinking of my mother
and hoping that she's staying warm
that she's not worried even though she should be
kaleidoscope of every girl I've kissed
a thousand journal entries of the friends I miss
stopped keeping track long ago
where I'm from never constitutes as home
two empty bottles on the nightstand glistening
I'm on the other side of the wall listening
I wonder who will find me first
I hope it's not that lady from the church
