I walk into the hall slipping on my silver mask. At this ball I don’t have a name, my face smeared with the others I watch their lips dancing in conversation As I feel my heart, A gentle dagger tucked close
I can see you looking at me Lips in a soft smile Face shrouded in gold Were you waiting for me? Soon enough we’re dancing And your royal laugh fills my daisy head Oh, what do you want from me?
And then you leave Why did you leave? You leave me among these flawless faceless people With the perfect fake dancing faces “Oh **** it all, darling” I mutter as I step into the snow
I can see the people looking at me These mess of people, faces uncovered As I search the powder sugar streets My silver dress sticking out like a dandelion in seafoam I just want to be home Or I maybe want to be in your arms I’ve yet to decide
Before long I spot you again Standing in the corner, black coat dangling on your golden arm Were you waiting for me? You smile and draw a breath letting your cold breath cloud in the air 'Oh **** it all, darling' I think as I step closer to you
Your nodding features drew me in I show my happy painted face Hide my truth under the silver mask Your’s a strong gold All I see is your artistic lips and jaw You smile and hold my cold hands Warming them with your breath
My dagger heart falters The metal slowly melting with the ice of my hands Oh, why did you have to be so **** charming, darling You take my arm and spin The silver and gold of our skirts swimming at our ankles As you lead me to your home
We’re inside now and you light a fire It’s dancing arms out wide I sit by it and look at you And the room I want to know I want to know everything You slip beside me Your warm hands tracing over my face As you pick at the edge of my silver mask And gently take it off
You look in my eyes Your gold mask now sitting next to mine I admire the color of your face We speak I laugh And I realize how I’m falling fast As fear clings to my chest You trace my cheek What are you doing to me I smile at you and whisper “Oh **** it all, darling” As I reach for your face.
