I glance around the room
At the faces I "hold most dear"  
The fake laughs and plastic smiles
I see on this day each year

What a special time Christmas is
For the young and the old
It reminds us why we ignore one another
Except on this holiday in the cold

I wish it held more meaning
Than this sickening hallmark cheer
I wish I could be happy
But my emotions are unclear

The lights are faded in my sight
And the decorations mean so little
We're just continuing on a cycle of lies
And I'm here stuck in the middle

But I don't really care anymore
I've  become numb in the end
So I'll wish you a merry Christmas
And continue to pretend
