Snowflakes On Burnt Skin

Moonlit children & carved smiles Making every step seem worthwhile Running away with the stars Dancing in the wind, not so far Decaying lungs & broken dreams A bleeding mouth, drowning screams Black veins & pale skin addiction help deep within Raindrops on lacerated lips Hidden behind the lunar eclipse Silver tongue & crippled wings A spectral thorn & razor blade sings Toxic showers, its poisons kiss Suffocated by fake happiness Plastic lungs & taped confession Tempted by disguised aggression Interrupted & separated skies Peaking through sugar coated lies Black curtains & paper hearts Last words spoken before falling apart Artfully twisting these words into gold Cries muted & pain that's never old Breaking free from any sin Lies snowflakes on burnt skin
