Jingle Bells

I remember when it used to be just me
Sitting beneath the Christmas tree
The room dark but the lights shining
The phone would ring,
My pulse race, my heart sing
But I don't care for calls no more
It's not you I avoid
It's everyone.

The lies, the stories, the drama queens
I've had so much nonsense
I want my ears to be cleaned.

It's not what I'm doing, nor my opinion
Gossip is where it's at this millennium
I'm tired, yet I barely sleep
I got to bed, and just weep and weep

I want out, I want out now!
I don't care what, when or how!
So painful to wait for the undefined
Time drags on when minutes are mine.

I've had enough of living with all you
Your hurtful words, dirty looks too
Sick of the sleaze and the slime
Sick of you thinking, "If you were mine"

I don't want you, don't want you!
There is none that will do.
I'm sure I'll settle for less as I wear thin
Hopefully before then eternal sleep sets in.
