about

i know that this might seem like a cheat code, turning the word "christmas" into "xmas" simply to have an "X" song, but i'll have you know that this was one of the only planned songs i had in mind when i first started thinking about this project. also it works because im releasing this for xmas. therefore, something something something

lyrics

the fires gone and the mantles weighted down
by picture frames and candles half blown out
the tree is in the window and dinners on the stove
faces on the screen of those out in the cold
the anchor says to me a rising tide will lift all boats
when it's hard enough to stay afloat

the kitchens closed the nightshift winding down
with christmas lights and memories half burned out
daddy's getting angry and mamas got her bags
she caught the only train that was moving down the tracks
the whiskey getting sour with his hand upon the latch
when it's hard enough to take it back

the street is bare and the ice builds on the ground
the town is full of pockets half turned out
the choirs singing dirges and the bells scratch up the door
those old toy cars keep turning round another empty store
and all the feelings in you spilling out onto the floor
when it's hard enough to say you're sure
it was hard enough before
