[Verse 1]
December lights through frosted glass
Playing my role, wearing this mask
Hamburg suburbs, pristine and cold
A story of distance, never told
Family photos on display
While I'm fading, day by day
[Chorus]
North Star Syndrome, guide me home
Through these perfect lies we've grown
Plastic smiles and Christmas cheer
Everything feels far from here
So goddamn far from here
[Verse 2]
Mother's cooking fills the air
Dad pretends that he still cares
Sister's laughter rings so fake
Another Christmas to forsake
Wrapped in tinsel, wrapped in doubt
Screaming silence all throughout
[Bridge]
And I drift like winter snow
Past the warmth I'll never know
Diagnosis on my mind
Leave these memories behind
F*ck these memories behind
[Chorus]
North Star Syndrome, guide me home
Through these perfect lies we've grown
Plastic smiles and Christmas cheer
Everything feels far from here
So goddamn far from here
[Outro]
In this cold December night
Everything seems crystal bright
But beneath this perfect scene
Lies a truth they've never seen
I'm just a ghost at seventeen
Lost in their perfect machine
Lost in their perfect machine
