Luna Rivers - Tinsel Bruises Lyrics

[Intro]
Tinsel and tears, they look the same when they fall
December's here again, I'm starin' at these walls

[Verse 1]
Broken ornaments scattered across the floor
Mama's hidin' bruises behind that sweater she wore
Silent night ain't so holy when the screamin' starts
Deck the halls with fake smiles, we're fallin' apart
Cheap lights flickerin' like my faith in men
Countin' down to midnight, prayin' it would end

[Chorus]
Tinsel bruises, sparkle in the dark
Christmas lights flashin', hidin' all our scars
Mama stay strong, I got your back tonight
While silver bells ring, we're planning our flight
F*ck these demons dressed in Santa's clothes
December's cold but we ain't frozen, no

[Verse 2]
Rich kids got presents, we got survival skills
Empty stockings hung with care, but strength fills
Our veins with fire, mama's eyes still shine
Through the black and blue, her spirit's divine
Working double shifts at the mall today
While he's passed out drunk, we'll slip away

[Bridge]
They say it's the season of giving
But all he gave was pain
Now we're done with forgiving
Breaking these chains

[Chorus]
Tinsel bruises, sparkle in the dark
Christmas lights flashin', hidin' all our scars
Mama stay strong, I got your back tonight
While silver bells ring, we're planning our flight
F*ck these demons dressed in Santa's clothes
December's cold but we ain't frozen, no

[Outro]
New Year's coming, we won't be around
Taking back our lives, leaving this ghost town
Watch the tinsel fall like tears of gold
But mama, we're rising, breaking this hold
