Luna Rivers - Midnight Skate Carol Lyrics

[Intro]
Frost on the grip tape, Christmas lights fade
Another December night I gotta escape

[Verse 1]
Empty parking lots become my sanctuary
While families gather, I'm out here, solitary
Connor hits the rail, sparks in winter air
F*ck these perfect homes with their perfect prayers
Wheels against concrete, that's my lullaby
Empty malls behind us, stars fill up the sky
Got demons in my head that I can't shake loose
But when I'm grinding rails, I find my truth

[Chorus]
Midnight skater, carol killer
Empty streets getting colder, feeling realer
Don't need their presents or their fake love
Just give me concrete stars up above
Connor and me against this whole damn town
Christmas bells ring but we drown them out

[Verse 2]
Bruised knees and broken dreams
But we're still flying, or that's how it seems
Past the factories where our parents slave
Building something real from the scraps they gave
No tree at home, just an empty space
But out here freedom's written on my face
These wheels beneath me tell a better story
Than all their picture-perfect Christmas glory

[Bridge]
December demons dancing in my head
But Connor sees me, no words need to be said
We're family now, chosen by the night
In this concrete kingdom, everything's alright

[Outro]
Frost on the grip tape, Christmas lights fade
Another December night, we got it made
Midnight skaters, that's our prayer
Finding heaven in this frozen air
