Lyrics

Beneath apocalyptic snowflakes from above
 We're not in peril, we are in apoca-love
 
 So let's go walking or Christmas shopping
 No, let's do something a bit more shocking
 Let's go to the windmill, let's find some catharsis
 Let's go to the graveyard and cover up darkness
 
 And it's okay, I've done this tons of times
 Well maybe once a year sine I was very young
 But we'll be fine, okay, I do this all the time
 And nothing could go wrong unless that's what you'd like
 
 Is this the first time that you've ever seen
 Aurora borealis crush mankind?
 The wind chimes chiming with the screams
 A pretty winter night your hand in mine
 
 The horizon is afog
 With the breath of everyone
 And I hope you're having fun
 I just had to share with someone
 
 This is the empty building that I call my home
 Baby it's cold inside, don't leave me here alone
 
 There's no good movie but there's a fire
 Well, scented candles that are on fire
 So let's take the night off, be joyful and joyously
 Enjoy the moonrise and let it destroy us
 
 See, it's okay as long as we believe
 We'll be okay, as if anything could go wrong on Christmas Eve
 Okay, you know I'm glad you're here
 So I can show you this before I disappear
 
 Is this the first time that you've ever seen
 Aurora borealis crush mankind?
 A flashlight underneath my chin
 A pretty winter night your hand in mine
 
 Now we're swallowed by the fog
 From the breath of everyone
 I can barely see you now
 But your smile is a frown
 Yeah, I knew it had to stop
 'Cause I always mess it up
 And I get it if you run
 I just had to share with someone
