Author Notes:
"Tissue Paper" tells the story of a translucent boy whose fragile, glowing heart becomes the only warmth in a world of ice and silence. As his "tissue paper heart" burns brighter to save the others, he demonstrates how even the most delicate souls can carry a fire within them to defy the cold.

[intro]
Cold as a cavern’s sigh.

[verse 1]
In the dark where no sunlight gleams,
A boy composed of glass and silent dreams.
His heart delicate clad in tissue so thin,
Fragile ember burning deep within.
—
Soft glow slowly bleeds through frozen air,
Its tender warmth caresses tiny forms laid bare.
Each trembling breath, every beat a silent prayer,
His flickering heart melts away despair (despair).

[hook]
Tissue paper heart,
Burning bright in the cold,
Fragile light in the dark,
A beacon from a soul (soul).

[chorus]
He wills the flame to rise higher,
Feeding warmth from fragile fire.
Edges smoke and curl in pain,
Yet still he burns—so others remain.
—
His tissue heart ignites the night,
A sacrifice in flickering light.
Consumed to save, yet shining free,
The quiet blaze of fragility (fragility).

[verse 2]
Shivering bodies pressed like stone,
Lost in shadows, chilled to bone.
His beating core ignites the night,
A tender blaze against their plight.
—
Though tissue tears at fiery strain,
He holds the spark against the wane.
A fragile guardian’s silent fight,
To kindle hope from fading light (light).

[bridge]
Burn through the thinness, break the skin,
Let every flame reveal what's within.
A heart so frail, yet fiercely bright,
Leading them from eternal night (night).

[hook]
Tissue paper heart,
Burning bright in the cold,
Fragile light in the dark,
A beacon from a soul.

[outro]
Whispered light, (whispered light)
Fragile heart consumed, (fragile heart consumed)
Gone, yet ever bright. (ever bright)

[fade to end]
