White Lies - Roll December

Night out, and no moving
Life under streetlight brooding
Low sound, oh how soothing
Summer caught with red-hand looting
All this talk of missing
Could make a man wanna die if he was ever alive

No crown, no new king
Dread in a worn eye proving
Old heart fit new wings
Just never been good at losing
All this feeble wishing
Could make a kid wanna cry if he was ever alive

It's getting harder to remember
How a good time used to feel
When the pit of cracked November
Is always tricking out my feet
This is something monumental
A stain on a linen sheet so I pray
Roll, roll December
But the waves are whipping me

Right thought, but wrong feeling
Cards cut and moonlight dealing
White chalk, hope peeling
Dead earth and a diamond ceiling
All this empty living
Could make a kid wanna cry if he was ever alive

Cut fruit, old papers
Look how a life-line tapers
If she's bored, engage her
A little chore can sometimes save you
All this aimless kicking
Could make a man wanna die if he was ever alive

It's getting harder to remember
How a good time used to feel
When the pit of cracked November
Is always tricking out my feet
This is something monumental
A stain on a linen sheet so I pray
Roll, roll December
But the waves are whipping me
