Elizabeth Mitchell
Christmas Ribbon
You can't see the forest for the trees
Her name is on your tongue like a disease
A disease

Glued together like a broken vase
Veiled behind a clandestine mask
The sorrow that you're feeling for her pendulum swinging

Sever these ties like Christmas ribbon
Sever these ties like Christmas ribbon

I know you're not sleeping and I
Know that you're seeking a silver lining
But it's not up her skirt

Causе she'll drink you in and then spit you out
And you'll come crawling back to thе taste of her mouth
This purgatory isn't mandatory

Sever these ties like Christmas ribbon
Sever these ties like Christmas ribbon
