Out of technicolor,
Into monochrome.
From the randomizer,
Back to the monotone of life.

High-suffering delicacies,
Pain recipes in agony —
Still the monster, kill the soul.

Bottomless, the pits
Of reputation and renown —
Lonely are the chosen,
Heavy is the crown.

Sentiments that ground the heart,
Woven ties and phantom roots —
Know where you belong.

To false starts,
And new beginnings —
Onward lies the road ahead.

The clock strikes twelve,
The clock strikes one —
Same everything,
Same everyone.

The season of reflection,
The gray amidst the cheer —
The autumn between
Christmas and New Year.

Save the fireworks
For year's end —
Celebrate considerate.

A year is a year,
Yet, the longer we live,
The shorter, the more precious
They seem.

Boxing day —
Christmas dreams,
Drag them up,
From the bottoms of your hearts.

The world may not be kind,
But still, there's something
About Christmas time.

A lie, a lie,
For future change —
Do you hear what I hear?

Let's hide
Under the mistletoe,
And kiss the year away.

Christmas Carol warning bells —
Two to midnight to the tune of
Do they know it's Christmas time
At all.

Oh, the climate outside
Is frightful.

Songs of change,
Here to stay —
We're dancing merrily
In the new old-fashioned way.

Another year winding down,
Here it is, the time of joy —
With the heat turned way down low,
Is everyone still having fun?

What more could I give,
What more could you ask —
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart.

Bright storefronts scream colors,
Warm capitalist wishes —
It's beginning to look a lot
Like Christmas.

Christmas time,
Peace and glee —
Joy to the world,
Presents to me.
