lyrics
VERSE 1
Little Snowflakes
falling everywhere I go
winter never used to bother me
here's the problem
when it's not in flames it snows
itching bones lead to a heart that bleeds
PRE 1
But I've started a path
I'm counting down the math
and I know it's such an ask of you
to see this out with me for good.
but would you be my guiding star tonight?
CHORUS 1
Can't sleep for fire,
though I'm so tired
not listening for
reindeer hooves
or sleighbells in the snow
The only gift I need
just calm the heart of me
that's burning endlessly
won't you let me
won't you let me make a start tonight
VERSE 2
I've taken control
I've got to give this a go
at least then I'll know
'cause what's the alternative
doc just spits the chronic bit
no longer looks at it
PRE 2
so I'll push on the path
I'll eat safe and salt bath
and pray to god,
to hear this sound,
and see this out for good
I really need your (a?) guiding star tonight
CHORUS 2
Can't sleep for the fire,
though I'm so tired
not listening for
reindeer hooves
or sleighbells in the snow
The only gift I need
just calm the heart of me
that's burning endlessly
won't you let me
won't you let me heal my scars
and let me
won't you let me make a start tonight
BRIDGE - UNUSED
& oh I just wanna feel peace in my own skin
surely that's not much, too ask for
CHORUS 3
Can't sleep for the fire,
though I'm so tired
mind screaming
am I on the right path
won't you let me know
will this pain ever go
The only gift I need
just calm the heart of me
that's burning endlessly
oh won't you be my guiding star tonight
