Leon Mondschein - Quiet Hours Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Christmas lights through frosted glass
Another year that's bound to pass
Hamburg nights so cold and slow
Pretending that I'm letting go
Family frames on pristine walls
While something in my spirit falls

[Chorus]
In these quiet hours, I'm fading out
Like static on an old TV screen
In these quiet hours, I'm drifting now
Between what's real and what I dream
(Was ist los mit mir?)

[Verse 2]
Mother's touch feels far away
Though she's sitting here today
Smiling faces, empty eyes
We're all just dancing with disguise
Perfect presents wrapped in gold
Can't fix the distance growing old

[Bridge]
December's getting colder
As my walls are growing taller
Every year I feel much older
In this house that's getting smaller

[Chorus]
In these quiet hours, I'm fading out
Like static on an old TV screen
In these quiet hours, I'm drifting now
Between what's real and what I dream
(Ich bin nicht mehr hier)

[Outro]
Silent night in shades of blue
I'm becoming someone new
Watch the snow fall endlessly
While everyone's surrounding me
But I'm alone, so f*cking alone
In this place I used to call home
