These Christmas gifts

by @EvilTyromancer For all the people let down by the gifts they got this Christmas :'( Thanks for listening! ___________________________________________________________________ [verse] Under the tree, wrapped in a paper disguise Lays the kingdom of deceit and lies Lord give me strength to face it These gifts will be the end of me! [pre-chorus] Lord forgive my selfish heart As these gifts tear me apart You gave your son for all mankind Yet on this eve no peace I find! [chorus] These gifts this Christmas hurt (Why can't they see who I am?) The pain, it's meant to last (Another gift that I can't stand!) The spirit's fading fast (I was let down again!) [verse] Socks with patterns that bring me to tears Old smartphone from a bygone age Sweater too small, a wooly prison of pain My soul screams out in righteous rage [breakdown] WHAT'S IN THIS BOX? ANOTHER DISAPPOINTMENT! CHRISTMAS MISERY! FAILED ATTEMPT AT CONTENTMENT! I'LL WEAR THIS SWEATER! FOR YOUR SAKE! BUT LORD KNOWS! MY HEART MIGHT BREAK! RETURN POLICY! SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS! [bridge] In this season of giving My spirit is barely living Through another year of pretending These gifts are what I wanted [final chorus][x3] These gifts this Christmas hurt (Why can't they see who I am?) The pain, it's meant to last (Another gift that I can't stand!) The spirit's fading fast (I was let down again!) [outro] Maybe next year they'll check my list... Maybe next year they'll get the hint...
