[Intro]
Snow is falling, lights are glowing,
Even apart, our love keeps showing.
December nights bring us near,
In every thought, you’re right here.

[Verse 1]
The holidays aren’t the same,
When we’re apart, but that’s okay.
Memories shine, they’ll never fade,
They’re the gifts we always save.

[Chorus]
Even when we can’t be together,
Love carries on like winter weather.
In every card, in every call,
We’re connected through it all.

[Verse 2]
I hang the lights, you light the tree,
Across the miles, you’re here with me.
The season’s magic, it’s always clear,
It’s not the place—it’s who we hold dear.

[Chorus]
Even when we can’t be together,
Love carries on like winter weather.
In every card, in every call,
We’re connected through it all.

[Bridge]
One day soon, we’ll laugh again,
Until then, this love won’t end.
The spirit of us, it fills the air,
No matter the distance, I know you’re there.

[Outro]
Snow is falling, hearts are glowing,
Even apart, our love keeps growing.
Wherever you are, near or far,
You’ll always be my shining star.

Epidemic

Every night i go to bed
All these question in my head 
Hold me awake i can not sleep 
Insomnia is hitting ... Deep ! 

Can not sleep ! 
The struggle is real ! 
What should i feel ! 

I wander through the darkest night 
Holding an emptyness inside
My mind trys to play tricks on me 
Am i awake or do i dream ?
Awake or just a Dream ? 

Is this real !? What should i ? 

Every Night i lie awake
All the colors seem to fade 
Just another hopeless try to find 
Peace for my .... Mind ! 
Follow the blind ! 
Wander through the night !
See with closed eyes !

I I wander through the darkest night 
Holding an emptyness inside
My mind trys to play tricks on me 
Am i awake or do i dream ?
Awake or just a Dream ? 

Cant be real .... Sleepwalker ! 

A restless soul awake 
Another body to take 

I wander through the darkest night 
Holding an emptyness inside
My mind trys to play tricks on me 
Am i awake or do i dream ?
Awake or just a Dream ?

[LYRICS]

[ still grinding teeth
trying to follow you home
i'll stop the world
'cause this plan is slow
wait across the street
in the parking lot
the tree is dead
the front door is locked
the moments i framed
have cracked and crumbled
grabbed us by the throat
then i choked and stumbled
this will never work
this will never work
check my pulse as i swallow dirt ]

I'm cutting myself with my own morals
I never meant to write about you (I never meant to write about you)
The one contact that I loved so much
But passing my own heart, what could possibly be within?

Do you think about your actions?
Do you ever wonder what the consequences are?
[ your licensed M. Bison
got stabbed with a five dollar syringe ]
Oh, the dullness of existence
[ your licensed M. Bison
got stabbed with a five dollar syringe ]
Oh, the dullness of existence

[ i'm dressed in white
shine so bright
hair so tight ]

And I have no sympathy for this
He needs somebody else to leech off of (Somebody else to leech off of)
The one contact that I loved so much
But passing my own heart, what could possibly be within?

Do you think about your actions?
Do you ever wonder what the consequences are?
[ your licensed M. Bison
got stabbed with a five dollar syringe ]
Oh, the dullness of existence
[ your licensed M. Bison
got stabbed with a five dollar syringe ]
Oh, the dullness of existence

[ prescribed the throat
i need the antidote
it's fucking
mind over matter
prescribed the throat
i need the antidote
it's fucking
mind over matter
prescribed the throat
i need the antidote
it's fucking
mind over matter
prescribed the throat
i need the antidote
it's fucking
mind over matter ]

My concepts are rested
And manifest in ways you can't forget
My concepts are rested
And manifest in ways you can't forget

My concepts are rested

[ if you're gonna wear the uniform
sell the fucking cookies
don't come to my house
asking for a handout
if you're gonna wear the uniform
you better sell the cookies
don't come to my house... ]
