about

a song i wrote about how i have no friends here

demo sorta

lyrics

i think i know why i like the snow
it gives me at least one excuse to be reclusive
walk on icy ground and im slowing down
to make sure i dont fall in anything exclusive

let me be alone
like ive always done in the past, i tell ya
that the blubber on my body keeps me warm real well
and you wont walk me home
whether you suggested it or not is not important
just let me dwell

holding my own hands in the dark
as my fingers freeze interlocked in my pockets again
ill hold my hands in the dark
till the sun comes up and i thaw and continue to pretend
that i can be my own friend

my jacket's thin, my boots are caving in
but ill still walk through blizzards wearing the same outfit
i always wear, and you say you care
enough to get me something warmer but i doubt it

even though i know
that i never told you that i would be coming over
in a ratty pair of docs and a shit pullover
i dont trust your show
even when im draped in blankets that you got from your closet
just let me go

and ill be holding my own hands in the dark
as my fingers freeze interlocked in my pockets again
ill hold my hands in the dark
till the sun comes up and i thaw and continue to pretend
that i can be my own friend

i know youre trying to get in
but i wont let that happen
and ill try taking what you give
but i wont let that happen
i say i want so many friends
but i wont let that happen
anymore, i know just how that ends
it always ends w
me holding my hands in the dark
as they walk away with no recollection of me
holding their hands in the dark
so as long as it is snowing
ill be better off knowing its not gonna happen

holding my own hands in the dark
as my fingers freeze interlocked in my pockets again
ill hold my hands in the dark
till the sun comes up and i thaw and continue to pretend
that i can be my own friend
