Intro (soft, traditional jolly carol– almost whispered / choir tone)
Deck the halls with bells of holly,
Fa-la-la-la-la…
(pause — everything drops out)
⸻
Verse 1 (beat drop guitar rifts and drums punk rock)
Red cups, fake smiles, lights too bright
Mall’s playing songs I don’t even like
I did my time, I bit my tongue
Held my breath all year long
Snow boots, cracked phones, late nights
Fell apart, still showed up right
If karma’s real, then let’s be clear
I earned a little chaos here
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I crossed my heart, I kept the peace
Swallowed words that burned like heat
If there’s a list, go check it twice
I played it good… now roll the dice
⸻
Chorus (punk-pop explosion)
Hey Santa, can you hear me?!
Got a wish, a gift you owe me
I’ve been nice —
So call me naughty
No coal this year, you feel me?
⸻
Verse 2
Plastic trees and silent phones
Everyone’s home, still feel alone
Didn’t ghost, didn’t run
Just learned who I’m not becoming
I wrapped my flaws in red and gold
Still showed love when I was cold
If “good” means breaking just to fit
Then yeah… maybe I’m over it
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I kept it clean, I played my part
Didn’t let the world harden my heart
So if tonight I ask for more
Don’t act shocked, I’ve been ignored
⸻
Chorus
Hey Santa, can you hear me?!
Got a wish, a gift you owe me
I’ve been nice —
So call me naughty
No coal this year, you feel me?
⸻
Bridge (half-time → build back up)
Maybe I don’t need diamonds or snow
Just something real, something I chose
I survived the year, I’m still right here
That’s worth more than reindeer and gold
(beat builds back in)
So light it up, let it burn bright
If I want the world, that’s my right
⸻
Final Chorus (big, shouty, layered vocals)
Hey Santa, can you hear me?!
Got a wish, don’t disappear on me
I’ve been nice —
So call me naughty
No coal this year, you feel me?!
⸻
Outro (callback to intro, distorted + playful)
Deck the halls with bells of holly…
(laugh / guitar feedback)
Yeah… that’s what I thought.
