Luna Frost - Evergreen Ghosts Lyrics

[Intro]
Dead pine needles on the floor again
Fake smiles under plastic wreaths, pretend
Family photos yellowing with time
Memories frozen like December ice

[Verse 1]
Mama's perfectionist December dream
Lights all twisted on a dying tree
Empty boxes wrapped in cellophane
Like the lies we tell to mask the pain
Branches cracking in the winter night
While we act like everything's alright
Got these ghosts living in my head
Every Christmas wish I left unsaid

[Chorus]
Evergreen ghosts haunting me
Through these halls of make-believe
Watching my childhood decay
Like these needles falling away
F*ck these picture-perfect scenes
When everything ain't what it seems
Nuclear winter in my veins
While this family goes up in flames

[Verse 2]
Ornaments reflect a broken home
Shattered glass and secrets we don't own
Mama's smile starts to crack and fade
Like this planet that we threw away
Nature's dying while we deck these halls
Putting tinsel on our carbon walls
Can't breathe through all this artifice
Suffocating on nostalgia's kiss

[Bridge]
Silent night, holy shit
Everything's so counterfeit
Dead trees in the living room
While outside the world consumes

[Chorus]
Evergreen ghosts haunting me
Through these halls of make-believe
Watching my childhood decay
Like these needles falling away
F*ck these picture-perfect scenes
When everything ain't what it seems
Nuclear winter in my veins
While this family goes up in flames

[Outro]
Another Christmas lost to time
Another year of forced designs
These evergreen ghosts still remain
Dancing through nuclear rain
