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 maryâs 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, iâm just a lowly unstable boy
Iâm a failure on a journey, but my strength is gathering
and itâs only fair that i make it there, yeah, iâm on my way to mattering
But all the way, on the way, i couldnât 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 wonât twist off
aching for the syrup that could cure me of this hacking cough
Ask me how iâm feeling and iâll say iâm okay
though my mind is reeling, canât think of anything better to say
is that what you get for running a yellow lightâ
piss full of regret and a fix that doesnât last
i'm a super-cali-fragile piece of fucked up à 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, iâm just a lowly unstable boy
Iâm a failure on a journey, but my strength is gathering
and itâs only fair that i make it there, yeah, iâm on my way to mattering
But all the way, on the way, i couldnât 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 wonât 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 donât expect you to hear me say
iâm gonna chew my way out of your lab rat cage someday
But all the way, on the way, i couldnât 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 wonât twist off
aching for the syrup that could cure me of this hacking cough
