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
