Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up to plastic reindeer
staring through my window screen —
The neighbors built a light show
that’s assaulting my routine.
Tinsel on the mailbox,
carolers at 8 AM…
I haven’t even caffeinated —
why are they like this? Again?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone’s pretending
this season fixes life —
But I’m wrapping up my chaos
like a last-minute surprise.
⸻
[Chorus]
The holidays are brutal,
Punchin’ through my roof tile —
I’m dodging festive pressure
with a half-deranged smile.
Yeah, candy canes are stress sticks,
Santa’s stuck in TSA…
The holidays are brutal —
But babe, I’m brutal in a cute way. 🥊✨
⸻
[Verse 2]
Gingerbread anxiety,
eggnog on my favorite shoes —
I swear the elf on the shelf
is reporting all my moods.
My family group chat’s buzzing —
“Are you coming?” Hard pass, no.
I’ll stay home making playlists
of Mariah going high-note psycho.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone’s got sparkle
that they duct-taped to their face —
I’m here in pink fur jacket
tryna survive this holiday race.
⸻
[Chorus]
The holidays are brutal,
Punchin’ through my roof tile —
I’m dodging festive pressure
with a half-deranged smile.
Yeah, candy canes are stress sticks,
Santa’s stuck in TSA…
The holidays are brutal —
But babe, I’m brutal in a cute way.
⸻
[Bridge]
Deck the halls?
I deck the drama.
Fake a laugh
for winter’s karma.
Silent night?
Not in this town.
One more jingle
and I shut down. 😵💫✨
⸻
[Final Chorus]
The holidays are brutal,
But I’m still here — I won’t break.
I’ll glitter-bomb the chaos
just to watch the season shake.
If joy comes late, I’ll take it —
wrap it messy anyway…
Yeah, holidays are brutal —
but babe, I’m brutal in a cute way.
Woke up to plastic reindeer
staring through my window screen —
The neighbors built a light show
that’s assaulting my routine.
Tinsel on the mailbox,
carolers at 8 AM…
I haven’t even caffeinated —
why are they like this? Again?
