Christmas Gloom

# INTRO "The world shines bright, but sometimes, even Christmas lights can’t warm the heart." # VERSE The snow falls soft, a velvet sheet, While carols play on every street. The world feels wrapped in red and green, But I can’t join the festive scene. # PRE-CHORUS The fireplace glows, a golden hue, But it can't chase away this blue. # CHORUS Not looking forward to this cheer (too near), The holidays only make things clear. Each Christmas light, a memory’s sting, And I can’t feel the joy they bring. # VERSE The children laugh, their voices rise, While my thoughts linger under dark skies. The tree stands tall, adorned with care, But I still feel there’s no one there. # PRE-CHORUS The choir sings of peace and grace, But I’m still lost in empty space. # CHORUS Not looking forward to this cheer (I hear), The holidays bring back what’s not here. The mistletoe waits, the stars shine high, But their magic fades as the days go by. # BRIDGE If love could bloom on this holy night, I’d find a way to hold on tight. But every wreath, each bow I see, Feels like a distant memory. # INSTRUMENTAL # CHORUS Not looking forward to this cheer (still here), The holidays hum, but I can’t steer. Each carol fades like falling snow, A fleeting sound that comes and goes. #OUTRO "Maybe someday, Christmas will feel like home again."
