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
