Behind the glass, I wear my crown,
frozen twirls in plastic grace.
Blue lips smile as I spin around,
with glittery flakes upon my face.

They twist the key to make me spin,
my dance begins, then fades to slow.
A hollow waltz I float within,
beneath the pale and falling snow.

A vinyl tune begins to play,
a haunted hum that chills the bone.
Its notes drift through a world of gray,
unheard by hearts long turned to stone.

I waltz beneath a shattered moon,
each step a dream that’s slipped away.
A brittle dance to a broken tune,
with memories that never stay.

I wear my fate like silk and lace,
where loneliness and ache entwine.
A hollow smile on a porcelain face,
my ballgown trapped in frozen time.

Sadness lingers, soft and bold,
in silence where no stars explode.
A tragedy spun in winter’s cold;
a girl trapped in a ******* snow globe.

I feel so tired,
I feel so alone,
and yet in this life
it's all I've ever known.

Darkness looms within my mind
Eating up all of my insides
All good things come to an end
But what happens when they never began?

Am I stuck in limbo
Forever in this war
Do I even know myself?
Just a shell of who I was before.

Committing to everything is all that I want,
but the guilt living in my head is what haunts
I seem in the moment to be able to forget
all the good things that live within my head.

I know there will come a time when I will make that choice
but do I try to make forever last or do I fall into the void?

The needle drops like rain at night,
Soft hiss, then suffering takes its flight
Your voice a ghost in satin sound,
Still sings the lie that brought me down.

It spins around, so bittersweet,
Sounds of idolatry on every beat,
Same chorus clings like cigarette ash,
Your same old promise, the same old crash.

In candlelit noir, I play pretend,
and darling this track just won’t end
Just vinyl tears and minor chords,
Your love is a loop of empty words.

“You’ll never be alone,” you said
But baby, that skip plays loud instead.
A line that lingers, carved in pain,
Are like desires that lurk in the rain.

You were the song I always craved,
I was the silence you couldn’t save.
Now every dusk, I press rewind,
And bleed your echo from my mind.

Same song, same skip,
Playing over in essence
And that lyric still haunts me,
Like a fingerprint on all my affections.

The past was riddled with solitude,
I woke up in lace, like an old movie scene.
Now morning hums in a honeyed mood,
Last night you treated me like a queen.

The sky was heavy just before,
in shades of black and blue.
Now the storms don't come anymore,
Since all I see is you.

The night once sang in minor keys,
and every hour felt like pain.
Now even silence seems to please,
As I hear your voice in the rain.

There's color where the gray once stayed,
a bloom where I had only thorns.
The price of love was what I paid,
and in return the world was yours.

Since then I live in softer light,
A dreamscape soaked in vintage hue.
Our romance has set the world alight
What's changed? Babe, just me and you.

At my gate the shadows shimmer,
Amber leaves dance in the dusk
That west coast wind cuts like liquor,
And love still tastes like rust.

Lovers drift down boulevards,
Mixed amongst dreams and wine,
But I lean against the neon,
Still stuck in another time.

Oh, I never shook those crystal eyes,
They're ghosts in every stare
I ache for arms that held me tight,
back when forever lived there.

As I smoke beneath the streetlight
thinking we burned too young.
The moon won't say a **** thing,
But I'm still chained to us.

Hung from the moon where the city can't see
with lipstick smudged secrets you left all over me.
If silence is golden, then let it be mine.
I'll carry your touch through to the edges of time.

Thunder and lace and smoke curls in my hair,
you loved me like danger and vanished like air.
But I'd dance through the forever for you feeling so brave,
if only you'd whisper my name like I'm something to save.

If love is a drug then I'll take the dose
Let it burn through my blood, let it bring me close.
You watched as I opened, a flower in bloom,
like a song with no ending in a candlelit room.

And I'd do it again, to bring us into play
Just to taste your dangerous goodbye
like a moth to the flame.

In a world where time bends like light through a prism,
three colors met entwined in perfect rhythm.
A crimson spark, bold and untamed.
A violet mix amongst the dark,
And midnight blue the sky does make.
A love that dances through endless nights
Turns out; perfect is found within this life.

They touched in whispers and heart's desires.
A painted fate brushed in fire.
No start, no end, just dreams that mend,
A canvas vast, where hues all blend.

One lifetime red, burned bright and wild,
the muse, the fire, the reckless child.
Another twilight, violet blends red,
steady hands shared where lost hearts dread.
And when the world would turn to blue,
he'd hold them close as he'd always do.

Three colors woven together never torn,
A trifecta spun in fate's design,
No lines to break, no end of time.
For love like this does not decay,
it bends the light, it shapes the way.
