Lyrics:Suzu

I was once a tree
Drinking in light, breathing the breeze
Growing slow beneath the sky
I thought that was what life should be
Then one day, I was cut
Stood up straight and tied in place
Since that day, I stopped my growing
And only dressed to please their taste
And now I scream—
I’m a Christmas tree
Rootless, breathless, made to be
I don't shine—it's not my glow
It’s ornaments they want to show
I’m a Christmas tree
Lights on a body long deceased
Smiling still, but quietly know
I'm just a dead tree dressed in glow



They never asked me who I was
I just became who they adored
Soft-spoken words, a glowing tone
My voice was buried under gold

The night applauds, I play the part
With blinking lights that hide my scars
No one asks what lies beneath
And I forget what silence means


And now I scream—



I’m a Christmas tree
No breath to take, no roots to keep
All they see is something bright
Not the hollow under light

I’m a Christmas tree
No name, no voice, just make-believe
If you recall me once someday
Please remember I was real that day


When the lights go out
They all leave
The snow will melt, the songs will end
But nothing new will grow from me



I’m a Christmas tree
Standing still for all to see
I once lived, but now I gleam
With deadwood dressed in silent dreams
