Christmas Card
I got your Christmas card
It’s nice to see you and that you’re doing well
That’s a lie, your arms around her
All fake snow and jingle bells
Those mistletoe smiles
Parasitic and toxic, drains my will to cope
You’ve grubbed the green from the tree
Left it nothing but white, dead (ashen) lights, and electrical smoke

[Chorus]
If Santa swings by your place tonight
A lump of coal just won’t do
It’s much too useful
And deserved by better than you
The carols are covered in minor chords and tears
I hope he brings you a sackful of lonesome this year

You’re thе white elephant
No onе wanted and still got stolen away
Some clearance-zone board game
Regifted and never played
In a house full of folks
You never missed and wished they’d leave
You’re poinsettia tea
Poisonous but pretty enough to deceive
[Chorus]
If Santa swings by your place tonight
A lump of coal just won’t do
It’s much too useful
And deserved by better than you
The carols are covered in minor chords and tears
I hope he brings you a sackful of lonesome this year

[BRIDGE]
Invested in this infection
Cower in disconnection
Did you give her the same thoughtless discount perfume
And grab her the first card that you saw
Filled out all typos and flaws
On Christmas Eve afternoon
I wish tonight would find you at the North Pole
With carnivore penguins and Jack Frost nipping at your soul

And here’s hoping you’re happy enough
With all the stuff under your tree
I suppose I should feel lucky enough
Because that girl in your card isn’t me
