lyrics

Awakening on a cruel December morning
He awakens cold and aching only dreaming of blissful hypothermia
Lethargic and humiliated from daily routine he struggles to find some courage to get up
Dirty shirt thin pants no socks in shoes stubby beard shower-less and unfed
The December dim lit sky plagues the world surrounding him as the daily reminder that this will go on inevitably
Pictures of longing loved ones who’ve forgotten him and memories of loved ones who wont feel mutual
This is life for him

He looks around his dirty home as a final time is near
Proceeds to spend the hour to clean to fulfill a temporary goal that gives his existence meaning
Once the home is clean he leaves on his way to go for a walk
He notices the slush and the now falling snowflakes coming from the sky above

The trees are in his eyesight eagerly awaiting to disappear from the world now behind him
Deeper into the woods of solitude
His isolation becomes more of a physical
It gives himself meaning to feel the way his life has been
Hours have passed by and his fingers are slowly turning blue and his toes are numb but he continues to move forward
Lost in what is now his favorite place in the world

The piles of dead branches blockade the trail so he goes off path towards the cliffs overlooking the world around him
Footprints of both human and animal lead to different paths each a different destiny

He runs into a woman sitting cliff-side overlooking such land while snow covers her dim brown hair due to the remaining sunlight.
She turns around startled yet calmly and they exchange looks of similarity as if they both know what the true reason of why they are where they are
She puts her head on his shoulder as the snow falls and they watch the pinkish orange sunset fall from the horizon for the last time

The two embrace as the harsh weather consumes them for remainder of eternity.
