Glass Box Christmas

[Verse 1] Tiny town under water Little pines made of moss and stone Red shrimp dance like carolers On the driftwood In their own snow globe Filter hums like a choir Glow of green on the living room floor Candy canes on the cabinet You press your face to the door [Chorus] Christmas in a glass box Snow is just the bubbles that rise Angels in the java fern Haloed by the fairy lights We don’t need a chimney Just a quiet river of green Christmas in a glass box Best gift that I’ve ever seen [Verse 2] Snowflake tetras all scatter When you drop in a flake parade You trim trees made of Anubias Tiny wreaths in the pale substrate Stocking stuffed with new stem plants Wrapped in wet paper Tied up tight You plant hope by the handful Let it root in the soft Cool light [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Shh They’re sleeping… Corydoras on the sand like reindeer tracks Snails leave silver garlands On the glass Never looking back We’re up late Hands in the water Cold and clear as a winter stream Building forests for the fish Like we’re decorating dreams [Chorus]
