lyrics

(instrumental, 16 bars)

Snow to the knee and no reason to be here
I told the school I had a family matter
The mountain is not family and it is not a matter
(not a matter)
It is the only thing that has never asked me for anything

Nine hours up (nine hours)
And it did not notice me arrive

December ascent
(ascent, ascent)
Nothing here is against you, nothing here is for you
December ascent
I climb to be reminded that I am small

Monday I will spell out words for seven-year-olds
Patient, gentle, warm, and entirely truthful
Nobody there is lied to, that is not the secret
(not the secret)
The secret is only that I go up here and scream

(clean passage, quiet)
At the top there is nothing to do.
That is the entire point of going.
(BLAST BEATS RETURN)

December ascent
(ascent, ascent)
Nothing here is against you, nothing here is for you
December ascent
I climb to be reminded that I am small

(ascent...)
