Luna Rivers - Snowglobe Scars Lyrics

[Intro]
Frozen memories in glass, shake 'em up and watch 'em pass
Mama's dreams all scattered like December's broken mass

[Verse 1]
Council flat Christmas lights flickering on empty walls
Mama's paintbrush gathering dust down the empty halls
Used to watch her sketch at night when she thought I couldn't see
Now she's working double shifts, barely looks at me
Got these snowglobe scars that never seem to fade
Trapped inside this perfect scene that's starting to decay

[Chorus]
In my snowglobe world, everything's so pure
But the water's getting murky, and I ain't got no cure
Shake it up, watch it fall, glitter hiding all the pain
Mama's dreams are buried deep beneath cocaine and candy canes

[Verse 2]
Music box melodies playing in my head
While we're counting pennies just to keep ourselves fed
They say Christmas spirit's free, but that's a f*cking lie
When your stomach's empty and your pride's run dry
Started selling artwork just to make it through
Now I'm painting pictures of the things we never knew

[Bridge]
Tinsel-covered trauma, fairy lights and fears
Decorating darkness with these crystallized tears
Council estate angel with some broken wings
Trading all our "could-be's" for these temporary things

[Chorus]
In my snowglobe world, everything's so pure
But the water's getting murky, and I ain't got no cure
Shake it up, watch it fall, glitter hiding all the pain
Mama's dreams are buried deep beneath cocaine and candy canes

[Outro]
Watch the fake snow fall, in this glass paradise
Every shake reveals the truth behind these plastic lies
But I'll keep on dancing in this winter masquerade
Till all my snowglobe scars finally start to fade
