Holly Jolly Breakdown

[Verse]
Candy cane dreams snowflakes fall fast
Laughter explodes from the fire-lit past
Halls decked so bright they blind my sight
But why’s the silence louder than the night
[Chorus]
Merry merry Christmas they say it’s fine
String the lights tight till they cut the line
Oh jingle bells ring but the echoes sting
Merry merry Christmas feels like a crime
[Verse 2]
Stockings hung high red and gold haze
Crackling flames dance their little ballet
Carols rise sweet but the words taste strange
Why does the joy feel so out of range
[Prechorus]
Cinnamon and clove
Cover what we don’t know
[Chorus]
Merry merry Christmas they say it’s fine
String the lights tight till they cut the line
Oh jingle bells ring but the echoes sting
Merry merry Christmas feels like a crime
[Bridge]
Underneath the tinsel lies a mess
Beneath the bows there’s emptiness
Sugar plums rot in their golden tomb
Who knew joy could smell like doom
