Slow Match in the Dark

[Verse 1] Ashtray halo on the dresser Lipstick stain on my glass You say you're fine Say it so clever But your eyes give up too fast Midnight burns like a slow match dipped in water Your smile burns faster because you aren't happier than what you seem [Chorus] You’re a slow match Baby Trying not to glow Holding back the fire Everyone can know You keep saying “I’m alright” But you’re shaking in the seams Your smile burns faster Than your tired little dreams [Verse 2] High heels kicked in the corner Sequin dress on the floor You laugh loud Louder Over That silence at the door Midnight burns like a slow match dipped in water Your smile burns faster because you aren't happier than what you seem [Chorus] You’re a slow match Baby Trying not to glow Holding back the fire Everyone can know You keep saying “I’m alright” But you’re shaking in the seams Your smile burns faster Than your tired little dreams [Bridge] Every joke Another armor plate Every wink Another thin escape Tell me Do you ever want to scream? Or are you scared you’ll wake yourself From this painted dream? [Chorus] You’re a slow match Baby Trying not to glow Holding back the fire Everyone can know You keep saying “I’m alright” But you’re shaking in the seams Your smile burns faster Than your tired little dreams [Instrumental Break] [guitar solo Extra-distorted Long bends and feedback] [Outro] [Female backup chant] (Hey) slow match Slow match (Oh) let it burn Let it burn (Hey) slow match Slow match It’s your turn It’s your turn (Yeah) slow match Slow match Drop the mask Drop the scene (Oh) slow match Slow match Be the fire that you’ve been (Yeah) slow match Slow match Let it burn Let it burn (Oh) slow match Slow match It’s your turn It’s your turn
