Bad Holiday

I see it now in white
the whole house covered up
but you

weren't inside the night
the basement flooded up to the second floor

its a sad holiday
does the snow melt away
and reveal the grass

its the warmth of a kiss
never speaking of it
and it all will pass

but you don't want to see the lights
you don't want the company to see you cry

you're not one to make a fuss
you don't have to come out of the room to us

i feel it now your right
the whole house buzzing some
but you

pretend to sleep and cover your eyes
and i had a gift for you
when you get downstairs

its a bad view from here
its the people you're near
they're all the same

its the place you grew up
do you feel good enough
a family in a way
