Silken Skies

Silk on your tongue, blood on your teeth
Smile through truth like it’s some disease
You drink your morals with red wine grace
Then wipe the shame from your powdered face

We lie so pretty, we lie so clean
Wrapped in velvet, sharp and mean
No gods above, just clever masks
We kiss, we bleed, we don't look back

You shake the hand that holds the blade
Choke on secrets that you made
The dress is white, the room is red
You swear it's love, it smells like debt

We lie so pretty, we lie so clean
Wrapped in velvet, sharp and mean
No gods above, just clever masks
We kiss, we bleed, we don't look back

You sold the silence
Called it peace
Hung the truth
With silk and grease

We lie so pretty, we lie so clean
(Say it again like you still believe)
Wrapped in velvet, sharp and mean
(Truth never mattered if it’s unseen)

We lie so clean
