The glitchy music here reminds me of DDLC. Good tune overall, solid melody.

When Christmas Comes
When I go home I will walk via tinseltown, 
down LED avenues, jingle bells all around
Where they pluck all the stars from out the sky, 
and they hang them from rafters up on high 

I wished away the last year, it was the worst of times, 
audition for ass end of horse in village pantomime.
Just to hear your voice calling from the back
“it’s behind you!” oh yeh thank God for that

Christmas Eve, torrential rain
One single snowflake on this plain
I held you in gloved hands
and I’m not letting go 

New Year to November
It’s looming near, it lingers close
Into December,
when Christmas comes, what’s lurking goes

Saved hard all Winter to ensure your stocking’s full,
joined the choir, took myself door to door
making small change with all the carollers
every mention of His name changed to yours

A dream of you stood naked as Christmas tree, 
left unattended ’til second week of February.
In the morning, you’re lying next to me
Covered in gold, stole from nativity

Can you hear it?
Let the bells chime!
Lift your glasses high 
for the Boy Child!


When Christmas Comes

The Dream Is Over

Lyrics:
Well it must have been a day just like any other

Wake up go to work one after another

But something told me this time its gonna change

It's all Not quite the same way it's been arranged

Tried to see what the hell I missed 

And I knew I'd be pissed if anything was amiss

But it was just this, I couldn't tell what was different

The only part deliberate is the same that make you feel considerate

So maybe just consider this

It's not just a twist or a ruse 

hereafter is how we choose



Wonder about it all you want

But at some point the haunting 

Will Turn your soul gaunt 

It feels like a massive taunt

To see such happiness behind a vaunted shield

And yet it will never yield

The sealed barricade eternally made



Yet maybe just then at that point of lost indifference

You're finally freed from the bitterness

You found your deliverance from fear

and the ignorance of the years 



So take a deep breath, take it all in

But better watch yourself before you fall in

Head on a swivel mind on the devil

Think you all fine but you ain't on the level



have you been following the meaning

Just like that you've been learning

All the facts in this meandering life

Just make sure the strife doesn't take you straight to the afterlife

Your bed to sleep in

Your grave to lay in

Ever alone doesn't equal the stage

You'll just be a shut in and not a sage

Do the best you can, that old page

Meant to assuage your fear of failure

By your own nature be your own savior

And have all the same major behavior

Find your wealth beyond yourself

Find your partner and live with good health 

Don't worry about anything else

There's no reason to get so stressed

In the end even you will be blessed





The girl I love

The one I treasure

What's it all made of

These things without measure



So take a deep breath, take it all in

But better watch yourself before you fall in

Head on a swivel mind on the devil

Think you all fine but you ain't on the level

A jazzy tune in a Twin Peaks/Angelo Badalamenti-ish style with announcements from Legion's Division 3 Headquarters.
Imagined David totally high on those prescription meds of his, being followed around by SK/Oliver humming jazz at him while walking around the Clockworks mental institution which is actually decorated like the Black & White Lodge and being very confused about what's going on.
