[Verse 1]
Midnight drifts down marble halls
Scarlet cuffs and mirrored walls
Cigarettes balance on thin lips
Whispers lost at fingertips

[Pre-Chorus]
Lonely laughter, smoky air
Promises unravel where
Chandeliers flicker and fade
Every bargain poorly made

[Chorus]
Steel and silence walking down the lane
Painted faces, distant gaze in vain
Curtains part for the masquerade
Cold devotion on parade

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Silk lapels and shadows pass
Heels echo on the broken glass
Fragrant ashes, powder sweet
Tracing patterns through the sleet

[Pre-Chorus]
Gilded words in brittle rooms
Dancing eyes behind perfumes
Reluctant truth behind allure
Who knows what we endure

[Chorus]
Steel and silence walking down the lane
Painted faces, distant gaze in vain
Curtains part for the masquerade
Cold devotion on parade

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
