Leon Mondschein - Tinsel Fracture Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tinsel falling like dead stars
Through December's frozen dark
Dad's cologne and Christmas cards
Silent glances leave their mark
In this house of shattered glass
Where memories refuse to pass

[Chorus]
Tinsel fracture in my mind
Synapses freeze in winter time
These fairy lights won't make things right
Cold December burns so bright
Father, can you hear me now?
Through the static somehow

[Verse 2]
Presents wrapped in hollow dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
Your sweater's perfect, pressed and clean
But underneath we're both machines
Running programs years too old
In this interface of cold

[Bridge]
F*ck these perfect decorations
Empty conversations
Scattered like the snow
Everything I thought I knew
Dissolves in morning dew
It's time to let go

[Chorus]
Tinsel fracture in my mind
Synapses freeze in winter time
These fairy lights won't make things right
Cold December burns so bright
Father, can you hear me now?
Through the static somehow

[Outro]
The tree stands dead by New Year's Day
Like memories that fade away
In this house of circuits bare
I'm still waiting for you there
