There’s providence in facts The wisdom on doormats I’d have worn it backwards if you offered me your hat I passed out on the stairs While April braids my hair And I can hear through walls and windows just how much you care The night sky sees it all The regrets you’ll recall The standard for how far you’ve come and how far you can fall The three of clubs was dealt Before the snow could melt And in your search for certainty you stare up at my belt And ignore the party noise Ignore the party noise You ignore the party noise Ignore the party noise

She asked for my regrets To clear the air as the clock resets I’m hedging all my bets On next year She asked me if I pray Choke out a thanks or simply inveigh I’ll push that thought away Til next year On a little boat in the city sea The shoreline’s running away with me By evening tide perhaps I’ll be A sailor’s shoegaze Orion seems too serious His northern kick mysterious As he renders me delirious A sailor’s shoegaze She placed three in a line That’s the belt there, that’s the first sign The night sky intertwined With her lifespan He pushed her to the Side A passing fad is a punished bride The providence he eyed A blind man On a little boat in the city sea The shoreline’s running away with me By evening tide perhaps I’ll be A sailor’s shoegaze Orion seems too serious His northern kick mysterious As he renders me delirious A sailor’s shoegaze This mountainous divide Keeping scorpions to one side Finds the sky can hide Your sneakers. A scintillating pace The morning light can stay in its place Ten dollar shoes disgrace The dance brought from a Subaru’s speakers And we all go sailing into nothing Knowing nothing’s Here to stay And I keep my eyes fixed on his waistline Cause the night sky Makes my day

Someone kissed me or I lost my mind, I’ll patten the past so the flashback turns a profit of some kind Someone kiss me before I lose my mind I’ll batten the hatches seatbelts everyone’s feeling reckless I’m inclined Lets roll the windows down And see how winter sounds And the daylight is a forlorn thought in the December air, I’m freezing and I love it, And we’re tossed out in the great unknown, or just the highway glow Grown up adolescents Someone free me from this teenage mind, This health immolating and self deprecating persona was left behind But on New Years I’m always resigned Lonesome memoirs sound so sweet even the cliche cringy kind Lets sing out windows down Laugh at how great we sound And the daylight is a forlorn thought in the December air, I’m freezing and I love it, And we’re tossed out in the great unknown, or just the highway glow Grown up adolescents And we all go sailing into nothing Knowing nothing Swore to stay And we all go running home for Christmas Just so New Years Goes away And we all go sailing into nothing Knowing nothing Swore to stay And we’re running headlong Into moonlight Cause the night sky Makes my day And we all go sailing into nothing Knowing nothing Swore to stay And we all go running home for Christmas Just so New Years Goes away

Gunpowder sky Following motions their patterns like forceps Intensify Party room gossip drinks champaign at doorsteps Leading us astray Before we think of what to say Foment this year Let’s make some mistakes then revise them later Sorry my dear You kissed a meteor digging a crater Nearly, nearly there Let’s give the neighbors a good scare Pour me something really strong Write me just another song Somehow the last minutes are Leaving me in awe Say what you needed to hear To you it’s so crystal clear I cant move I’ll just stay here On second thought, I need a beer Dump the drops of flat champagne Don’t think there’s much left to say Smash the glass it could be fun Our charades have come undone Up in her room, Dan knocks the door down but she’s gone already Prepping months to come as tonight slowly comes undone Bigger problems that’s your call Some forgot, even less solved On the porch and drunken lawn Better not to get involved December gloom, Projecting bastions of winter and solemnly I seem enthralled but Better not to get involved It’s getting late and I can’t stay It got cold and it’s okay Better years are still to come With counts of five four three two Don’t look back and change tonight, Time itself will make it right Better years are still to come, With counts of five four three two One

about

The second in my now annual last minute December holiday EP series. The arbitrary rules are as follows: no songs can be started (writing, production, or otherwise) before December 4th and must conform to a predetermined theme. This year's entry tells the story of a New Years Eve party.
