Luna Grey - Fairy Light Static Lyrics

[Intro]
Static in my mind, fairy lights won't shine
Mama's hands keep working overtime
Tryna make these broken pieces glow
In our concrete kingdom down below

[Verse 1]
Council flat December, sixteenth floor view
Flickering bulbs, only half of them work, that's the truth
Mama with her wire cutters, making magic happen
While I watch the sparks fly, mind starts trappin'
Cheap tinsel kingdom, but we make it work
Threading hope through copper, hands start to hurt
Every bulb that dies feels like losing light
But we keep rewiring, through the coldest nights

[Chorus]
Fairy light static, in my veins
Broke girl magic, hiding pain
Watch 'em flicker, watch 'em fade
But we still glowing in this place
Yeah, we still glowing in this place

[Verse 2]
Christmas on the breadline, but we make it shine
Strategic placement of the working lights, looking fine
Mama says "appearances don't mean shit"
But I see her crying when another bulb quits
Windows full of shadows, but we persist
Making beauty from the things they missed
Every blown fuse is a lesson learned
'Bout how hope survives when the world has turned

[Chorus]
Fairy light static, in my veins
Broke girl magic, hiding pain
Watch 'em flicker, watch 'em fade
But we still glowing in this place
Yeah, we still glowing in this place

[Outro]
Static in my mind, but we still shine
Even with these broken lights of mine
Council estate Christmas, we survive
Keep these fairy lights, barely alive
