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 light— | |
Piss full of regret and a fix that doesn't 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, | |
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 |
