Marcus Gray - Snowglobe Lyrics

[Intro]
Trapped behind the glass, watching fake snow fall
Another perfect scene that ain't perfect at all
Family portraits smile but they're dead in the eyes
Living in this globe where nobody really tries

[Verse 1]
December rolls around, same shit every year
Fake laughs at the table, pass me another beer
Mom's trying too hard with her Pinterest decor
While dad checks his phone, can't take this shit no more
They shake us up sometimes just to watch us fall
Back into place behind these crystal walls
Every Christmas dinner feels like a stage play
Where we all pretend that shit's okay

[Chorus]
In this snowglobe, everything looks so clean
But the flakes are falling on buried dreams
Shake it up, watch it settle down
Silent screams without a sound
In this snowglobe, we're all frozen in time
Playing happy family, swallowing lies
Shake it up, let the fake snow fall
Can't escape these glass walls at all

[Verse 2]
Grandma asks about school, I give her what she wants
Surface-level bullshit, the same old response
My cousins posting stories, "Family time's the best"
But I see through their smiles, we're all f*cking stressed
Got generations of trauma wrapped in tinsel and bows
Everyone's medicated, but nobody knows
They think I'm just distant, call me antisocial
But I'm seeing clearer through this snowglobe portal

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wish I could just break the glass
Let all this pressure out at last
But I'm my father's son, keep that shit inside
Another holiday where feelings hide

[Chorus]
In this snowglobe, everything looks so clean
But the flakes are falling on buried dreams
Shake it up, watch it settle down
Silent screams without a sound
In this snowglobe, we're all frozen in time
Playing happy family, swallowing lies
Shake it up, let the fake snow fall
Can't escape these glass walls at all

[Outro]
Just another decoration on the shelf
Watching life pass by, losing myself
In this perfect little scene we built
Drowning in this snow-white guilt
