November.
What do I gotta be thankful for
When there's so much to be hateful for?
Those first few days were scary as hell,
Lying to myself,
Saying you'd be well.
We'd all be fine.
We got plenty of time.
But time ran down and the clock struck twelve,
The pages ripped out of my fairy tale.
The curse took hold
And the blood ran cold
And reality replaced
The truth we'd have to face.
So what do I gotta be thankful for?
When there's so much to be hateful for
Since they took you away
I got nothing to say
Since they took you away
I don't have to play
Nice for a while
Don't have to give 'em a big fake smile
Since they took you away...
They cut you up, trying to fix
All the problems that we missed.
One by one they turned on me.
One by one they let me see
The demons in their eyes
The truth in their lies.
Telling me things I don't wanna know
Telling me soon I'ma have to let you go.
And you left me the rings
And all these shiny things
But I couldn't care less
I let them all go and now my life's a mess.
So what do I gotta be thankful for
When I have so much to be hateful for?
Since they took you away
I got nothing to say
Since they took you away
I don't have to play
Nice for a while
Don't have to give 'em a big fake smile
Since they took you away...
Now ever since you closed your eyes
My lips have bled nothing but lies
Yeah, I'm alright. No, I'm not okay
Nothing's been the same
Since you went away
So what do I have to be thankful for
When they gave me so much to be hateful for?
Since they took you away
On a Wednesday...

I hope my friends don't take this personally. This is plain and simple how I felt last month after losing my mother.
