Slow down child You're going way too fast The lights flash before your eyes The lawman don't give no pass Life is on trial As quiet as it's been Caught up in a moment Never happen again Black suit and tie The judgement day has come Going through the motions The gavel makes the run Your life is on trial As quiet as it's been Caught up in a moment Never happen again

Merry Christmas from our house to your house, here's our prayer for you, That you'll find joy and satisfaction in everything you do. Fortune falls on you in abundance; good health is yours to find. Hope you sleep each night like a baby and wake up with a smile. I hope you find a sense of purpose; I hope you find release. And when you get locked out, I hope you quickly find your keys. I hope all of your prayers get answered, and most of the time it's 'yes'. But when it's not, you must remember it works out for the best. Merry Christmas from our house to your house, here's our prayer for you, That you'll find joy and satisfaction in everything you do. Fortune falls on you in abundance; good health is yours to find. Hope you sleep each night like a baby and wake up with a smile. I hope you make new friends this year but keep the ones you have (like me!) All your joys be multiplied, and sorrows cut in half. I pray this song brings you a smile you can pass on with glee. Who knows, maybe one day that smile comes right back to me. Merry Christmas from our house to your house, here's our prayer for you, That you'll find joy and satisfaction in everything you do. Fortune falls on you in abundance; good health is yours to find. Hope you sleep each night like a baby and wake up with a smile.

Sugar Sometimes I feel like I’m supposed to long for something more Like I should be ashamed of growing bored of growing bored And I would hate for anyone to think my comments untoward So let us whisper now as we’re headed for the door People try to tell you They say you’re a decent fellow Right before they try to sell you On the man that you could be But you’ve been chasing dragons You’ve been zigging and zagging Trying to get up off this wagon Cause you know what you need is Sugar, high grade Sugar, pure cane Sugar, to invade Sugar, your veins Sometimes I feel like surely I can’t be the only one who Sees the beauty in the rain and in the sun too And I would hope that anyone who’s ever had the urge to Would learn to turn to Sugar, high grade Sugar, pure cane Sugar, to invade Sugar, your veins Make it cool, make it hot, make it bounce Make me buy a gram, then make me steal an ounce Give me something that I never knew I was looking for Give me sugar One of us is naked now for all the world to see And the emperor’s so confident, so I guess it must be me Now anyone can see what I’ve been hiding underneath And I have nothing left to lose, so at last I’m free People try to tell you They say you’re a decent fellow Right before they try to sell you On the man that you could be But you’ve been chasing dragons You’ve been zigging and zagging Trying to get up off this wagon Cause you know what you need is Make it cool, make it hot, make it bounce Make me buy a gram, then make me steal an ounce Give me something that I never knew I was looking for Give me sugar Give me sugar Give me sugar Give me sugar Give me sugar

your tongue soaked in gall When you listen, gears will stall What you build sure will fall In the twilight Don’t you want to be free Of the hell of your own misery Don’t you want to believe There’s an answer Trace wisps of smoke To the flames that you have stoked Vows that you broke In the twilight Don’t you want to be free Of the hell of your own misery Don’t you want to believe There’s an answer Ash falls on the snow Reap what you will sow

Turned to the truth. A voice alone, Put on these words to my celestial one; Kept the light perpetual dance, Before her shape I praise and sing; Light of heaven’s fire, Kept the light perpetual dance, Encircle me with breath of the Sea, Glide silently by night. Kept the light perpetual dance, Alcides passed to his enchanted bliss He passed her forth; a sudden breeze,

William went down to the Walmart He needed some laundry supplies While combing the aisles He stopped, and then smiled When a special display caught his eyes Now he’d heard about these festive pastries Decided to pick up a box But in one week’s time Poor William would find That his world would forever be rocked by Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes Gotta get more of those Christmas tree cakes Filling and icing and sprinkles too Willie wasn’t ready when Lil Debbie came through with those Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes Love at first bite and a bigger mistake (Now he’s) willing to do whatever it takes To get more Christmas tree cakes Next week he went to a Target Assuming they’d be everywhere He strided inside And he almost cried Only Christmas Tree brownies were there (It’s not the same) Dollar General said “They’re at Publix” Publix says “nah…they’re at Sheetz” Sheetz didn’t have them But they definitely had them At a station in Raleigh last week (ughhh) Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes Cutting out slices from his mental state You don’t even notice there’s five per pack They know what they’re doing Cause they know you’ll be back for those Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes Where in the world are those Christmas tree cakes? Next thanksgiving is too long to wait. To get more Christmas tree cakes William went back to the Walmart The one where our story began He stepped to the side Then his eyes opened wide As he thought up another new plan Then William reached for his cell phone And ordered with Amazon prime And he walked out with glee Knowing those cakes would be On his doorstep in just two day’s time Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes Now he’s got more than a bakery bakes Tracking the package, delivering soon Clearing out the cupboard cause there’s not enough room for those Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes Love at first bite and a bigger mistake Blame Debbie and Bezos For Santa-sized weight From all those Christmas tree cakes

Cinemat-o-graphic phrases Words between blurred lines Don't ask once, don't think twice tonight Search around for rhythm Dance around the mines Time's gone for 'wrong and right' Just how long until they grab our ensign? Just how long until they black our eyes? We've a narrative to complete No time to beat the retreat Run head-first to defeat Battle hymns on repeat Pharmalogical hazes: Rations for the time 'Best take more than two Just how long until they take our ensign? Just how long until they dot our eyes? We've a narrative to repeat No time to beat the retreat Run head-first into defeat Battle hymns on repeat Just how long until they take our ensign? Just how long until they black our eyes? A narrative to complete Soldier, stop dragging your feat Time to die in the hot seat Battle hymns on repeat
