Lyric

You play with joy, you hold the gold

My days are fragile, thin and cold

I hide my past, my foolish ways

Behind a mask and a tough-girl gaze

That is my background... my lonely maze

Winter is hidden deep in your heart

Tearing your world and your soul apart

Drinking regret with a glass of wine

Trying to find a path that's mine and thine

That is your background... your jagged line

Dreams from a pocket, splintered and torn

Lies and glitters, a life reborn

Slipping through shadows, breaking the law

Hungry for power, without a flaw

You wear your crimes like a golden dress

Beautiful sins for a heart's distress

My life is leaning toward your flame

Playing a dangerous, dark-edged game

This is our background... we're both the same

Fading in the dark

Dressed in gold and sin

Our background begins
