about

My first ever Christmas song. I thought it'd be a positive way to close out on an album that covered my life's misery.

lyrics

It feels like forever
Since I felt this season’s cheer
When I felt happy for Christmas
And looked forward to the New Year
I wanna to feel that way again
Since fate’s dealt me much spite
And be able to sleep well
Even on these cold, snowy nights

For all the darkness
That’s befallen me
I’m still alive and well
In this fight to be free

So for a carol of my own
All I have to say
Is thank God I’m in one piece
Regardless of my mental fray
I’m reminded as bells clang
As celebrations ring out
That my saviour’s presence
Is what made all despair rout

I don’t see myself this year
With a girl under the mistletoe
Just another reminder
Of what always makes me feel low
This ain't how I should feel
On this of all days
I want to know
That patience is what pays

For all the darkness
That’s befallen me
I’m still alive and well
In this fight to be free

So for a carol of my own
All I have to say
Is thank God I’m in one piece
Regardless of my mental fray
I’m reminded as bells clang
As celebrations ring out
That my saviour’s presence
Is what made all despair rout

For all the darkness
That’s befallen me
I’m still alive and well
In this fight to be free

So for a carol of my own
All I have to say
Is thank God I’m in one piece
Regardless of my mental fray
I’m reminded as bells clang
As celebrations ring out
That my saviour’s presence
Is what made all despair rout
