Luna Grey - Cold Turkey Lyrics

[Intro]
Cold turkey on a paper plate
Stretching dinner, we can't be late
Momma's eyes tell a story untold
Christmas lights flicker, apartment's cold

[Verse 1]
Council estate, December twenty-fifth
Counting pennies while we count our gifts
One bird shared between seven souls
Acting full when we're swallowing whole
Grandma's recipe stretches thin
Like the paycheck that barely made it in
But we smile like everything's fine
While the radiator's on borrowed time

[Chorus]
Cold turkey, empty fridge
Playing happy while we live on the edge
Cold turkey, plastic tree
Pretending this is how it's meant to be
F*ck the ads with their perfect scenes
When reality's tearing at the seams
But we got love, yeah we got that
Even when the table's looking flat

[Verse 2]
Sister's wearing last year's dress
Brother's shoes are held by finesse
Mom's been working double shifts
Just to give us these dollar store gifts
But when we sit around this table
Tell stories like we're somehow able
To make magic from what little we got
Turn this cold meal into something hot

[Bridge]
They don't show this shit on TV
How we make something from nothing, you see
No fancy feast or champagne toast
Just us holding on to what matters most

[Chorus]
Cold turkey, empty fridge
Playing happy while we live on the edge
Cold turkey, plastic tree
Pretending this is how it's meant to be
F*ck the ads with their perfect scenes
When reality's tearing at the seams
But we got love, yeah we got that
Even when the table's looking flat

[Outro]
And maybe next year will be better
But for now we got each other
Cold turkey and warm hearts
That's how we keep from falling apart
That's how we keep from falling apart
