Lyric

Through the glass, your gaze starts to flow

Melting the twilight, steady and slow

Before any words could even arise

Your presence touches me, beneath the skies

A crimson rouge, swaying like a secret kept

In the moment you smiled, all my caution was swept

Don't you expect any kindness from me

But I promise you this, you'll never be free

From the memory of me, I'll carve it in gold

Those lips painted rouge, alluring and deep

Tempting me further, while the city’s asleep

In the haze of the night, where nothing is clear

You leave just the outline, and I'm left standing here

A smudge-proof rouge, like a boundary line

So close to the skin, but never quite mine

Smoky lights flickering, shadows that dance

Looking away, a desperate chance

But it’s useless to hide, when the air is so thin

Tracing the glass, where the fire begins

A heat more certain than the rim of the cup

I’m terrified of what might happen if I drink it all up

The closer I get, the further you seem

A beautiful gap in this lingering dream

I’m drawn to the void, to the space you create

Those lips painted rouge, staining the night

Everything fragile, slipping from sight

If I touch you, it’s over, the risk that we take

A dangerous beauty, for my heart to break

Your smile isn't a lie, but it’s not the truth

Lost in the mystery, lost in my youth

I don’t need a drama, I don’t need a scene

You make even guilt look like a beautiful dream

A glossy red rouge, leaving nothing to say

But deep in my heart, you’re the price I will pay

Those lips painted rouge, staining the night

I don’t know your name, but you’re blindingly bright

Stay until the dawn, let the darkness retreat

Even in the ending, the vision is sweet

More than any words, more than the lies

Just the shade of that red, before the light dies
