"To An Empath At Christmas Time" lyrics
The lights are green and red, shimmering and white
These days are super dark and even quieter nights
All this time to sense what all year felt not right
Nothing to distract us from this heavy ride
I can feel the planet
The feelings they deny
I can feel their sadness, Mom, and I don't know why
You don't have to smile big for us
Nor have a joyous time
You won't have to hold your breath until New Year time
Your precious sensitivity has felt like curse and crime
But you're not alone with your SOS inside
To an empath at Christmas time
These holiday melodies with presents all around
It's not that I'm ungrateful
It's just these blue chords in the sound
The depth of your perception
You've had it in your whole life
This time of year is rugged with all this pressure to be nice
You don't have to perform peace for us
Or belt out Auld Lang Syne
You are a miracle who feels deeply and is kind
Your tender perceptivity picks up signals far, wide
I see your wet eyes when you tell all of us you're fine
To an empath at Christmas time
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Your body's holding everything
The tinsel on the ground
They lie in contrast to this unrest that takes you down
You don't have to dance for us
Or make sure cheer is high
Your porous soul can feel every reindeer in the sky
To an empath at Christmas time, oh
To an empath at Christmas time
These days are super dark and even quieter nights
All this time to sense what all year felt not right
Nothing to distract us from this heavy ride
I can feel the planet
The feelings they deny
I can feel their sadness, Mom, and I don't know why
You don't have to smile big for us
Nor have a joyous time
You won't have to hold your breath until New Year time
Your precious sensitivity has felt like curse and crime
But you're not alone with your SOS inside
To an empath at Christmas time
These holiday melodies with presents all around
It's not that I'm ungrateful
It's just these blue chords in the sound
The depth of your perception
You've had it in your whole life
This time of year is rugged with all this pressure to be nice
You don't have to perform peace for us
Or belt out Auld Lang Syne
You are a miracle who feels deeply and is kind
Your tender perceptivity picks up signals far, wide
I see your wet eyes when you tell all of us you're fine
To an empath at Christmas time
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Your body's holding everything
The tinsel on the ground
They lie in contrast to this unrest that takes you down
You don't have to dance for us
Or make sure cheer is high
Your porous soul can feel every reindeer in the sky
To an empath at Christmas time, oh
To an empath at Christmas time
