Cold is a time to feel sad or Happy Belated New Year

Remember the sun?
He's a big guy with a warm smile and a hot secret;
He doesn't give a damn about you, or anyone.

Remember the pavement all hot like your soul?
Remember how you fell on it like a fried egg and cursed God?
That was a whole lot of misdirected rage on a hot day,
Hope you don't burn in hell for it.

Also, remember the devil?
He's a hot guy, probably likes long, cold nights
The way you like a warm blanket.

Remember when you were happy? That was probably back in "Rocktober"
As you call it,
(Trying to be cool)
(or was that "kewl") 
Back when leaves were falling and the kewl air still felt new
Because the light lasted longer and you forgot that you would forget,
Again.

Oh, happy belated New Year.
Happy season of joylessness to accompany your new goals.
Way to jump in the water and start swimming upstream towards a far-off destination.
I hope you make it before you just start eating.
