Winter Hymnal Lyrics

One deep human truth

That starts with me and has to do with you

Is I don't like change

And I wont change my mind about it

Until I reach my death bed

Which is warmed up

And waiting for me

Because the world follows in my footsteps

Go as I will and I wont look back

The past is the present still

So I'll catch my breath

Despite the cold air coming

I'll fight with my lungs and with my head

Because tomorrow brings a strong wind

The same one coming

And I'll do it again

You know what they say

The good die young

And I can tell because I'm breathing another day

So as long as I'm good

I'll defy the odds like I should

Because I don't believe in change

But season greetings

And I'm hit in the face with reality

Am I the only one standing

Or is there white around

To kill the flesh that I have

Rhetorical questions

Have no place here

Not here right now

Not in this space

The only space I have

Is the cold air

The one that chokes me in its path

So I'll catch my breath

Despite the cold air coming

And I'll fight with my lungs and with my head

Because tomorrow brings a strong wind

The same one coming

And I'll do it again

You know what they say

The good die young

And I can tell because I'm breathing another day

So as long as I'm good

I'll defy the odds like I should

Because I don't believe in change
