[Verse 1]
Static on the screen, December's almost here
Dad's photos fade to white, like ghosts that disappear
The Christmas lights next door, they flicker through my room
While synthesizers hum a cold and distant tune
[Pre-Chorus]
Memories pixelate, they glitch inside my head
All these German lullabies you never got to hear me said
[Chorus]
December static in my veins
White noise washing through these winter days
Family portraits turn to digital decay
While I'm rewiring all this pain
December static in my brain
[Verse 2]
Mother calls again, I let it ring and ring
These walls are paper-thin, I hear the neighbors sing
I've got my headphones on, frequencies so low
Programming myself to learn to let you go
[Bridge]
In this cold machine December
I'm becoming someone new
F*ck these holiday traditions
When they don't include you
[Chorus]
December static in my veins
White noise washing through these winter days
Family portraits turn to digital decay
While I'm rewiring all this pain
December static in my brain
[Outro]
The monitor still glows
Like Christmas used to do
Static fills the silence
Where I once felt you
Where I once felt you
