christmas won't kill me

right now
the clock is ticking down
til snow covers the ground again
and me
my feelings of unease
and merry misery
begin
my seasonal chagrin
it's that special time of year
i'm amazed i made it here
again
supposed to feel the gleeful cheer
but i'm stuck in yuletide fear
been a shitty friend
this can't be how this year ends
and i don't know which to expect
good tidings or regret
another year that was a mess
so cold and depressed
maybe i need to reflect
and finally believe that christmas won't kill me
all the little silly joke
complaining christmas songs i wrote
the only way i knew to cope
with cripplingly lonely lows
but now i know
christmas time will never lose my hope

a real santa

if santa was real, i'd be on his naughty list
i'd forget to text him back, and i bet that would make him pissed
or i'd miss it when he called and just go about my day
only to realize that makes him think that i'm a fucking fake
i'd be a bad friend to santa, just like i am sometimes to you
and i know i'd make excuses but it's honestly not cool
he'd only come around on christmas night to drop off all the gifts
and when he'd say "we need to talk," i would know i'm on the shit list
cuz santa just wants to feel like he exists
and i know that i am capable of feeling this guilt
if i've treated you like santa
i promise i'll be better by next christmas
ill try to fulfill your christmas wish
if santa was real, he wouldn't put up with my shit
he'd get sick of me so quickly, just like good old saint nick
he would call me out when i don't match his effort in friendship
cuz we'd only hang out once a year, and some years i would dip
i'm a bad communicator, and that's all santa would want
someone to tell him how they felt and to tell him they fucked up
he would only watch me when i slept because he really cares
he would be the friend i wish i was if i wasn't always scared
cuz santa just wants to feel like he exists
and i know that i could be more like him if i gave a shit
if i've treated you like santa
i promise i'll start acting less like the grinch
and fulfill your christmas wish
i will be a real santa that exists

one kiss (on christmas)

christmas eve, my mind is somewhere else
my spirits are up, i'm less depressed
it's a special night, and it's oh so soon
i can't wait to spend it at kowloon
with people that i see twice a year
but should maybe text when i'm more sincere
forget about my shitty brain
just have some fun and lose the pain tonight
it's getting late and they want us to leave
i just want one kiss on christmas eve
i don't ask for much the rest of the year
no christmas gifts, just a souvenir from you
waking up, and my head is sore
but my heart is full on the north shore
seriously, kowloon is so great
there were plenty of mai tais and delicious plates
now underneath the christmas tree
there's a bunch of gifts, but only one i need
so off to fitzy's party i'll go
and maybe there'll be a mistletoe tonight
it feels special under festive lights
i just want one kiss on christmas night
i'm not expecting it, but it would be cool
to end the year with a tiny little smooch
the year is over and we threw out the tree
i just want one kiss on new year's eve
the ball just dropped and there's no one in sight
because i'm home alone, it's just another night for me
