Leon Mondschein - Silent Rooms Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Empty halls and plastic trees
December's light spills through the blinds
Mom's still trying to make believe
That everything's perfectly designed
These photographs from countless years
Show faces frozen into smiles
While Hamburg nights grow cold and clear
And memories stretch for miles

[Chorus]
Silent rooms, they echo lies
Through tinsel towns and fairy lights
Can't feel a thing inside
These cold December nights
Just mannequins playing family games
Behind these pristine window frames
Silent rooms, they know my name
But I'm not the same, not the same

[Verse 2]
Prescription bottles by the sink
Next to cookies laid with care
They want me normal, want me to sync
With their picture-perfect air
But my head's a different frequency
That no one else can understand
This isolation sets me free
From their desperate wonderland

[Bridge]
F*ck these perfect little scenes
And all these empty Christmas dreams
I'd rather face the truth that bleeds
Than live inside this make-believe

[Chorus]
Silent rooms, they echo lies
Through tinsel towns and fairy lights
Can't feel a thing inside
These cold December nights
Just mannequins playing family games
Behind these pristine window frames
Silent rooms, they know my name
But I'm not the same, not the same

[Outro]
The synthesizers in my mind
Play melodies of solitude
While everyone's still playing blind
In this festive interlude
These silent rooms, they understand
What words could never say
As Hamburg sleeps beneath the stars
I'll fade away, fade away
