Here's my cynical attempt at holiday cheer...


Happy Holidays



This was what I never thought Id have to wish for

This was who I never thought I'd find at my door

This is like Jesus coming down and telling me I need to

Ask for more forgiveness 'cause I haven't gotten any of it

To give or take or manipulate to improve my score



Happy holidays seems just a little too cliché

Like they're telling me I need the cheer or I need their praise

I haven't felt lifted up by the miracles around

I'm just waiting to be picked up, swept up off the ground



This what I'd never say right to their faces

This who I never thought that I would be

This like everything I've found rolled into one

Ask me if I care anymore 'cause I have yet find out

To give or take to or to just walk the hell away



Happy holidays seems just a little too cliché

Like they're telling me I need the cheer or I need their praise

I haven't felt lifted up by the miracles around

I'm just waiting to be picked up, swept up off the ground



Though I walk alone most of the time with myself by my own side

I'd like to think that I'm not alone so I find my words

Send 'em off to the kindest kind of folk

It doesn't even matter if they even know my name

It's just nice to have something to say



Happy holidays seems just a little too cliché

Like they're telling me I need the cheer or I need their praise

I haven't felt lifted up by the miracles around

I'm just waiting to be picked up, swept up off the ground



Like they're telling me I need the grace

Look around and see through the things

Look around and see the truth I don't even

Understand the king that I once knew



Happy holidays seems just a little too cliché

Like they're telling me I need the cheer or I need their praise

I haven't felt lifted up by the miracles around

I'm just waiting to be picked up, swept up off the ground
