Santa Isn't Real

Stockings hang limp, no magic in the air,

Cookies on the plate, but nobody cares.

Chimney cold, ain't no soot to be found,

Reindeer dreams crash, hit the ground.

Santa isn’t real, they lied to me for years,

All the jingle, all the cheer, now just brings me tears.

Santa isn’t real, the truth is what I feel,

Broken like the sleigh, spinning off the wheel.

Sleigh bells fake, it’s a cruel charade,

Elf workshop’s just minimum wage.

Red suit myth, no North Pole ride,

Just a credit card debt they tried to hide.

Snowflakes fall, but they don’t heal,

Truth cuts sharper than steel.

Santa isn’t real, they lied to me for years,

All the jingle, all the cheer, now just brings me tears.

Santa isn’t real, the truth is what I feel,

Broken like the sleigh, spinning off the wheel.

Fake beard dreams, glitter and disguise,

Childhood's a snow globe, shattered lies.

Tinsel truths tangled in a web of deceit,

Christmas feels hollow, bittersweet.
