Christmas Eve

Cold days, and gray light And waking up with a sore throat And silence, and sound And Christmas lights And expectations Do you remember looking at adults And wondering why their lips Were always pressed in tight lines And they went to bed early And they sighed when they sat on the couch But as you grow older You mime those same actions Unfeeling, unexplainable, somehow natural And all too similar Does life push us to be these people? As time passes like train cars you're waiting on And reality feels like the parent You always wanted to be proud of you Is it any wonder why we're always chasing highs And thrills, and orgasms, and immersion? Drug use, and affairs And mid-life crises, and escapism And bank loans, and 'real jobs' And forwarding mail And then you're dead Why do I find myself trudging the same path I said I'd never venture down Drinking cups of coffee and driving And suddenly realizing I'd worked ten years at this place It's like I've gone too far on this journey I'm in too deep to go back now Is it too late to reinvent myself? I guess I'm just not sure how I ended up here It's like I'm stepping outside And the cold air burns my lungs And I've made a mistake And I'm doing everything the same And I'm disappointed in myself And I'm fucking bored Somewhere along the way I lost sight of who I am exactly I look back and the days run together And now I'm left with an aerial view Of the stream of decision That I realized I've never really been a part of Among the numb, and the monotony And the abstraction from truly living I'm Alice, left to wake up, left with nothing
