Presents on the floor
Tear away the bow
I don't want to know
Am I good enough?
All the things I gave
Aren't what I'd say
How can I convey
Am I good enough?
Last chance to run for the hills
Turn myself into wind
Joy on every face
Grateful in embrace
I cannot maintain
This grace
Wrapping paper, tinsel
Mark the season's turn
Start the timer, count it down
Am I good enough?
Last chance to run for the hills
Turn myself into wind
On a silent night
When the stars shine
In the black sky
Time flows slower
On the advent of
The season of gilded love
Feel the absence from
My cold shoulder
Hang a wreath to hold
Everlasting hope
That what we can't control
Will be good enough
I've no gold nor silver
I bring only me
Can I fill your stocking
With my anxiety?
Last chance to run for the hills
Turn myself into wind
On a silent night
When the stars shine
In the black sky
Time flows slower
On the advent of
The season of gilded love
Feel the absence from
My cold shoulder
Christmastime again
Light the dread within
Turn the engine
Drive me good enough
And I'll give in
Drive me good enough
And I'll give in

The stone around my heart
Is weighing down my bones
The furrows in my skin
Keep sinking in
The yellow in my smile
Been painted over years
Black coffee with old friends
Let's meet at Christmastime again
We're singing songs that everyone knows
A bottle of red
One bottle more
Our frozen, rosy cheeks
Do you have to leave?
We're stringing up the lights
The smell of Tannenbaum
Snow angels in the street
Your angel stays with me
We're singing songs that everyone knows
The old ones left are left alone
Can we stay forever here
Inside our songs
Or will I carry on
In the winter of this life
Frozen in time
Your echo in my ear
Your footsteps under mine
The only present I can give
I'll sing you while I live
I sing this song so everyone knows
The old ones left, we're never left alone

Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer inspired by the patient, pulsing energies of the surrounding world.

An ingenious combination of sacred choral vocals and harsh, skittering noise. You have to hear it to believe it. But oh, you'll believe it.

Chances Are
by Fire Chief Charlie
I'm in this lovely band. Catchy tunes existing somewhere between Buddy Holly and Arcade Fire. Fun energy, sweet harmonies, and exciting arrangements.
