Being small, flakey and melty isn't necessarily a bad thing

lyrics

I’m a snowflake, pretty little snowflake
Delicate as ice-water, soft as cotton wool
But when the snowflakes gather in abundance
We will make an avalanche
Knocking down your walls and breaking all your rules

I’ve a structure, perfect as a sculpture
Lovely and symmetrical, balanced and serene
For a moment, everything is crystal
If I take the time to explain just what I mean

I’m a snowflake, pretty little snowflake
Delicate as ice-water, soft as cotton wool
But when the snowflakes gather in abundance
We will make an avalanche
Knocking down your walls and breaking all your rules

You’re entitled to your opinions
And pre-conceived notions of what our lives entail
But you’d be wrong if you think that I’m afraid of you
Just because I’m small doesn’t mean I’m bound to fail

I’m a snowflake, pretty little snowflake
Delicate as ice-water, soft as cotton wool
But when the snowflakes gather in abundance
We will make an avalanche
Knocking down your walls and breaking all your rules

We’ve been waiting patiently for the clouds to fill with ice
Your bone-dry reign of terror is over
So you’d better think twice

Down we fall in a blizzard in a whorl
Glowing in the streetlamps, blanket on the ground
It says a lot for mass movements
And strength in solidarity when word gets around

I’m a snowflake, pretty little snowflake
Delicate as ice-water, soft as cotton wool
But when the snowflakes gather in abundance
We will make an avalanche
Knocking down your walls and breaking all your rules

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
