Faintly Falling Ashes Lyrics - Lawrence Arms

another senseless week of crowded thoughts and crooked teeth 

morning frost and frozen sidewalks 

all those days that burn inside us 

swell up in the silence of snowflakes falling magically 

but the magic fades into the memory 

sleigh bells ringing laughing all the way 

cold hands of winter grasp as i gasp for breath 

is this my last? 

no thoughts of dying no more self loathing for today 

so deck the halls with drunken folly 

swallow resolutions line our stomachs with illusions 

car engines sputtering like these smoke filled dreams 

mistletoes and colored lightbulbs 

and the kiss of winter fades into the memory 

angels singing ... lift me off the ground 

yesterday is frozen in the revery 

tomorrow is melting 

let's raise our glasses to these faintly falling ashes ...
