[Intro]
In the mirrors, the candles sigh, a pale velvet grin.
The clock yawns, the shadows yawn, let the night begin.
[Verse 1]
I brush my teeth with secrets, rinse them down with sin,
Wearing a halo painted black, I’m twinned with the chagrin.
Laughing at the thunder, ooh, what a wicked little mood,
Sarcasm tight around my ribs, a counterfeit of good.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the monsters smile in my reflection,
They tell me every dream’s a subversion.
[Chorus]
Morality slips on my tongue like a dare I swallow whole,
Depression hums a lullaby, and apathy takes toll.
Assorted sins line up in a neat, ridiculous row,
I clap for the chaos I pretend to control.
[Verse 2]
Coins in my pocket jingle with a hollow cheer,
I polite the chaos, sip the fear, and wipe away the tear.
Imperfect prayers scribbled in lipstick red,
I charm the gloom and call it elegance instead.
[Pre-Chorus]
Even the saints retreat when I begin to speak,
I barter truth for a grin that looks antique.
[Chorus]
Morality slips on my tongue like a dare I swallow whole,
Depression hums a lullaby, and apathy takes toll.
Assorted sins line up in a neat, ridiculous row,
I clap for the chaos I pretend to control.
[Bridge]
If hope is a rumor, I’ve heard it twice,
I’ll sign the contract with a sigh and a vice.
[Chorus]
Morality slips on my tongue like a dare I swallow whole,
Depression hums a lullaby, and apathy takes toll.
Assorted sins line up in a neat, ridiculous row,
I applaud the darkness and call it my gold.
[Outro]
Fade to black with a smirk on my lips,
The night approves, and so do I, in tiny grins.
