Jack's Lament
This idea popped into my head and I had to do it. Obviously based on Jack's Lament from the Nightmare Before Christmas. (Apparently, this song was made by the All-American Rejects)

There are few who'd agree, at what I do I am the best,
For my talents are despised far and wide.
When it comes to surprises on a winter night,
I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little movement of my wooden staff,
I have seen whole towns covered in white.
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed wind,
I've created giant glaciers in one night.
Yet year after year, it's the same routine,
And I grow so weary of invisibility,
And I, Jack, the winter kid,
Have grown so tired of the same old thing.
Oh, somewhere deep inside of the snow,
A loneliness began to grow.
Can someone see me, far from my home?
A longing that I've always known.
I'm a master of cold, and controller of snow,
And I'll make icicles to behold.
For a guy made of ice, I'm still pretty nice,
Even if I never do as I'm told.
But since they don't believe, no one can see me.
My heart breaks because of this pain.
No animal nor man can freeze like I can,
With the power of my icy weather.
But who here would ever understand
That the winter kid with the obnoxious grin
Would tire of the cold, if they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could
Oh, there's an empty place in my heart,
That's slowly tearing me apart.
The grins on their faces I see every year,
Do nothing for these empty tears.
