melted

cookie swapping

nothing is equivalent to the price i'm paying
pass the cookie tray around
i burn my fingers for your high praise
the adulation is never returned
maybe i'll cover myself in chocolate
and suffocate under a cocoa blanket
happy in a way
it's twisted, but so are my candy canes
nothing is sweeter than confectioner's sugar
packed into patties that give you such glee
breathe in the powdery snow, the powdery sugar
we're high on trying to accommodate the world
the family hurls, overdosed on sugar
you haven't even tried the biscotti yet!
waltzing and walking past disarming alarms
their charms are nothing more than icing on top
the icing on the cake is pure sugar
and i am on the floor
dusted in sugar
the world in this winter is covered in sugar
we sugarcoat the life we live in, watch as we wither
it's drizzled in honey, let's stick to each other
behind such wonder, we're torn apart by weather
it'll only get wetter, your worries get better
all lightly sprinkled in bright-colored sugar
nothing is equivalent to the smiles i spray
on my face, when i give them to you.
