lyrics

I am sincere when I say “Thanks for all your gifts today”
And for the blessings for a future and a faith that stay secure.
With all this food on my plate and money in my account
I know what it means to graduate and how it feels to never run out
Of people to thank, of superiors to please
Of smiles to fake, parts of myself to lease.
I’ve got hundreds of shareholders invested in me
But when did I lose control of my own company?

* * *

I can’t believe it’s already gone, seems like just yesterday I was a lonely and petrified kid.
Oh wait—it was! My life’s a two-hour delay I spend reflecting on all the things I never did.

Bicycles and fruitless schedules, I know exactly when to shift into my optimal gear.
But I’m sliding fast! I could really use a brake (break) from deceiving everyone I hold dear.

* * *
Misconceptions, murky self-perceptions, this river is what you want it to be.
Pent-up angst, a people giving thanks for provision and plans already set.
“Son, as it is, you owe the Big Man a great deal of debt.”

Undeserved gifts and unwelcome shifts, I shouldn’t have tucked away all my sins.
‘Cause when Santa Claus came, he had no beef with my name, but now I need all that coal to stay afloat.
“Dad, as it is, I have no fuel left to power this boat.”
