Shelbyville Leave It To Christians To Ruin A Perfectly Good Holiday
The presents wrapped in tissue paper under the tree,
the cameras rolled to show how much this meant to me,
but years from now, all my memories will be replaced by
plans that won't come true and everything I'll never get to do.
Burn down this sea of Christmas trees,
and sail across the ashes that remain,
of tangled lights and broken candy canes.
This silent night; break the silence with an apathetic kiss.
Merry Christmas. Here's my wish list.
Escape this town unnoticed, and leave the snow behind.
If one more person tells me I'll be fine I might cry.
My list is made of lies I keep to help me hide
the things I haven't lost and I could never leave behind.
How can you sleep at a time like this, so cold and lonely,
while the rest of us are waking to act like kids again.
It's not a fair fight if you can never win.
Burn down this sea of Christmas trees,
and sail across the ashes that remain,
of tangled lights and broken candy canes.
This silent night; break the silence with an apathetic kiss.
Merry Christmas. Here's my wish list.
