Snow falls slow
Shadows on the window
December's breathing down my neck again
Silent streets wrapped in silver and fear (ah)
Carols echo but they never sound clear (ah)
People laughing under warm-lit skies
But every light just burns my eyes
Another Christmas with a heavy chest (ah)
A holiday ghost that never rests (ah)
Ribbons tied around memories dying
I open every box just to find myself hiding
And the world keeps shining bright
But it never reaches where I hide
Every star on the tree feels like
A tiny spotlight on my mind
Hollow Christmas
Bells ringing like a heartbeat failing
Frozen wishes
Written in the snow but fading
Under the tinsel
I'm still carrying the weight I'm chasing
Outside, outside it's winter magic
But inside I'm breaking
Footprints vanish where the shadows lean (ah)
Lights flicker like they're scared of me (ah)
Frostbite hands on my window frame
Knocking softly, whispering my name
A plastic angel with a crooked smile (ah)
Looks alive for a lonely while (ah)
Every ornament reflects a lie
Glitter shines but I feel dry
And they all pray for peace tonight
But I just pray to make it right
A single star falls out of sight
Guess it couldn't handle all my fights
Hollow Christmas
Bells ringing like a heartbeat failing
Frozen wishes
Written in the snow but fading
Under the tinsel
I'm still carrying the weight I'm chasing
Outside, outside it's winter magic
But inside I'm breaking
Maybe sunrise'll thaw what's left
Maybe January's not as cold as this mess
But tonight I drown in memories kept
Every one of them heavier than the rest
Hollow Christmas
These bells are singing out my ending
Frozen wishes
I write, erase
Then keep pretending
If joy is coming, it's not descending
Cause outside, winter sparkles
But inside, I'm still unmending
