Staring down the barrel of another holiday
|
Force-fed a christmas carol of another time, another place, another way
|
What child is this who, who laid to rest
|
On mary's lap is sleeping
|
Well, what child is this who, who feels so blessed
|
Yet cannot keep from weeping
|
|
I should be tending to the horses who intend to cart my joy
|
From now into forever, I'm just a lowly unstable boy
|
I'm a failure on a journey, but my strength is gathering
|
And it's only fair that I make it there, yeah, I'm on my way to mattering
|
|
But all the way, on the way, I couldn't contain my fear
|
My lips only look rosy cuz my skin looks so white in here
|
Shred up my fingers on this bottle cap that won't twist off
|
Aching for the syrup that could cure me of this hacking cough
|
|
Ask me how I'm feeling and I'll say I'm okay
|
Though my mind is reeling, can't think of anything better to say
|
Is that what you get for running a yellow lighta¢æ¡±
|
Piss full of regret and a fix that doesn't last
|
I'm a super-cali-fragile piece of fucked up A?-la I need a spoonful of something fast
|
|
I should be tending to the horses who intend to cart my joy
|
From now into forever, I'm just a lowly unstable boy
|
I'm a failure on a journey, but my strength is gathering
|
And it's only fair that I make it there, yeah, I'm on my way to mattering
|
|
But all the way, on the way, I couldn't contain my fear
|
My lips only look rosy cuz my skin looks so white in here
|
Shred up my fingers on this bottle cap that won't twist off
|
Aching for the syrup that could cure me of this hacking cough
|
|
Stupid fucking world of mine
|
You keep moving the fucking finish line
|
You trick me over here, you hide it over there
|
You start another game when you see me starting to care, well
|
I don't expect you to hear me say
|
I'm gonna chew my way out of your lab rat cage someday
|
|
But all the way, on the way, I couldn't contain my fear
|
My lips only look rosy cuz my skin looks so white in here
|
Shred up my fingers on this bottle cap that won't twist off
|
Aching for the syrup that could cure me of this hacking cough
