lyrics

brick chimney wafts a plume of smoke. you can see your breath and your cheeks are stinging. you hear voices blending inside. shot glasses clink, drunken singing. step through the door and join the revelry. poor me a double of your finest whiskey. lines are lined up, you step in line. you scan the room for a warm body or two to help you pass the time.
oh the lanterns glow, pale skin below. the curtains close and you're trapped in an asymptote.
sealiah is the hostess, she supplies the medicine and beer, and you'll never have to leave the valley of the new year.
the valley of the new year, because you're never coming down.
in your disappointing life you've finally found a temporary safe harbour. so you forget about your past, your past regrets and your doubtful tomorrows. candy trays of oblivion's decay. yet another salve to choke the sense of doom down. you're among friends for now, and maybe tomorrow will be the time to remedy your laconic existence...but for now, just abandon all sense.
and you've become a ghost mess, but at least your path is clear, and you'll never get to leave, because new year's day will never reach here.
the valley of the new year, because you're never going up.
no you're never coming down, and you're never going up.
