Dancing bears
Painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

BRIDGE:
Someone holds me safe and warm
Horses prance through a silver storm
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory

CHORUS:
Far away
Long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Once upon a December

Bridge

Far away
Long ago
Glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart used to know
Things it yearns to remember

And a song someone sings
Once upon a December

"Once Upon a December"
Anastasia





Always, known in, all my time
A little left of center now
Reflect as I realize
That all I need is to find the middle pillar
path to sit like the sun by a
star in the sky and just be.
Sinners, casting stones at me

I...I stand, not crawling, not falling down
I...I bleed, the demons, that drag me down
I...I stand,(For nothing), not crawling,
(the center), not falling down
(of calms within the eye)
I...I'll bleed,(For no one), the demons,
(but myself), that pull me down
(For me and no one else)

Goodbye, sunshine, I've put it out again, sad
I'm over, personalities, conflicting
I don’t need you, or anyone, but me
I'll just be, living my own life
I feel my glowing center grow, infecting
I feel alive
Shovel dirt over lime,
plant it in myself to sit like a seed under
covers of earth and just be
Sinners, pointing fingers at me


[Chorus]

Come play kill
Refuse my body, refuse my shadow
Stone cold will
Refuse to lead this, refuse to follow
Bitter pills
Refuse to feed this, refuse to swallow,
I'm fueled godless
Come play, come play
Kill
Just be, just be

I...I stand, not crawling, not falling down
I...I bleed, the demons, that drag me down
I...I stand,(For nothing), not crawling,
(the center), not falling down
(of calms within the eye)
I...I'll bleed,(For no one), the demons,
(but myself), that pull me down
(For me and no one else)

"Not Falling"
Mudvayne
