Glitter In The Wound

Another drink to keep me sane
Another laugh to drown the pain
We wear the night like velvet lies
And hope it hides our bloodshot eyes

Bartender knows me better than friends
Whiskey talks when silence ends
The strobe lights flicker like my hope
This glittered cage, I call it home

Glass in hand, I'm bulletproof
Until the high reveals the truth
These kisses taste like chemicals
And every beat, a funeral

We dance like stars about to fall
The louder it gets, the less we call

Pour it up, turn it loud, light it bright
We fake euphoria every night
Raise a toast to all we’ve lost
Glitter in the wound, now pay the cost

Lipstick smudged like our regrets
The DJ spins our cigarettes
We chase the rush, deny the ache
But nothing’s real when we’re awake

Remember when we used to feel?
Now we just pretend it's real
You hold my hand to feel alive
But even love gets high to survive

This isn’t living, it’s surviving
Another pill, another dream we’re diving

It’s euphoria with gasoline
And every smile is nicotine

Pour it up, turn it loud, light it bright
We fake euphoria every night
Raise a toast to all we’ve lost
Glitter in the wound, now pay the cost

Burn the club, let the lights ignite
Dance with ghosts in black and white
Raise a glass, one final round
We drink to fall and never be found

Glitter in the wound
And no one left to clean it
