My Manic Mind

The city is drowning,
Yes it rained for days,
Lost my inspiration down a drainage gate,
Now the swing sets under water,
They've closed down the battlefield,
No point in fighting mother nature after all,

Cause’ we're still alive and kickin’,
Pay no attention to these battle scars,
We'll face it head on while the records skippin’,
Life is like a carousel, always spinning round’ and round’,
Keep both feet on the ground,

In a trail of sorrow all across the news,
Of a tragic murder of someone I knew,
In world so cold and angry, looking to take another soul,
Be thankful for the time you get to know,

Cause’ we're still alive and kickin’,
Pay no attention to these battle scars,
We'll face it head on while the records skippin’,
Life is like a carousel, always spinning round’ and round’,
Keep both feet on the ground,

When the day gives no escape,
All because a cloud of darkness tried to steal your light away,
Leaving only broken wishes and an empty dream,
I promise you will land back on your feet, 
So please remember,

Cause’ we're still alive and kickin’,
Pay no attention to these battle scars,
We'll face it head on while the records skippin’,
Life is like a carousel, always spinning round’ and round’,
Keep both feet on the ground,
Keep both feet on the ground,
Keep both feet on the ground,

Now that it is Christmas 
I hope I get some presents
Cause I’ve been good this year
Yeah now that it is Christmas
I hope I get some present 
Santa Claus is almost here
Oh dear

I had a dream that we were gathered by the Christmas tree
Round we stood with all our friends and all our family 
The fires glowing and feeling so nice
Outside it’s snowing oh what a delight
Now we’re impatient and we want to tear those gifts apart
It’s fucking hard to wait when do you think we will start
I am so ready to finally begin
I’m doing my best to keep it all in 

Cause now that it is Christmas 
I hope I get some presents
Cause I’ve been good this year
Yeah now that it is Christmas
I hope I get some present 
Santa Claus is almost here
Oh dear

Imagine everyone all dressed up in their Christmas best
Even your weird uncle put on a fucking sweater vest
I can’t believe today has arrived
Oh what a time to be alive
Still I am anxious to get to festivities 
I’m lost in thought of all the possibilities
Of what could be waiting for me
Underneath the Christmas tree

Cause now that it is Christmas 
I hope I get some presents
Cause I’ve been good this year
Yeah now that it is Christmas
I hope I get some present 
Santa Claus is almost here
Oh dear

I would like a keyboard
Michael needs some cymbals
And maybe some new drumsticks 
Dave needs a new guitar
Dalton needs a bass cabinet
And I would like a synth

Cause now that it is Christmas 
I hope I get some presents
Cause I’ve been good this year
Yeah now that it is Christmas
I hope I get some present 
Santa Claus is almost here
Oh dear
