lyrics

With the season of receiving drawing closer,
T’was never such a gift as full disclosure.
I know it shouldn’t matter - my beef with Santa Clause,
But I wouldn’t feel right lyin’.
By the fire I hear the lost cause… almost cackling.

Could you look past traditions to come?
Would you hold back on giving your all?
I won’t ask for more; I just wanna have this one….
Will you take in all histories’ mistakes?
Christmas stollen served right onto a plate.
In the morning, I just wanted to be faithful.
Heard our neighbors to the north just call it Boxing Day

I haven’t touched the spirit in a long time:
A sip of serotonin or a fourth mind.

As snow descends on every house like hope befalling from the clouds,
The gentle sound of truth abounds; dependent proofs had let me down.
So viscerally remembering each miracle less tragically.
Our essence expelled at such an expense leaves me searching the sky for alternatives...

Should I look past traditions to come?
Would I hold back on giving my all?
I won’t ask for more; I'm just gonna have this one….
Will I take in all histories’ mistakes?
Christmas stollen served right onto a plate.
In the morning, I just wanted to be faithful
If I have to, I'm okay to call it Boxing Day.

Could we...

There are reasons to persist, noting neither cross nor sleigh.
Ought we take after Canucks and call it Boxing Day?
