Candy-Coated Chains

[Verse] Sticky smiles in neon lights Camera clicks We’re staged to fight A sugar-coated fantasy A puppet show with misery You hold the strings I play the part Your poisoned words A work of art [Prechorus] Glossy lies and pretty sins This spotlight burns where love begins [Chorus] Candy-coated chains Sweet and cruel You dress me up I play your fool Bitter kisses Cherry-stained Dancing in your toxic game Candy-coated chains Oh they shine But I’m choking on the storyline [Verse 2] Your love’s a script I know my role A twisted plot It takes its toll You paint me up in shades of shame A beauty trapped inside your frame I smile for them I cry for me Your puppet loves the irony [Prechorus] Tangled in your velvet lies Your sugar burns Your sweetness dies [Chorus] Candy-coated chains Sweet and cruel You dress me up I play your fool Bitter kisses Cherry-stained Dancing in your toxic game Candy-coated chains Oh they shine But I’m choking on the storyline [bridge] oh feed me the script I'll say my lines give me a kiss I'll pretend not to hate being alive.... [chorus] Candy-coated chains Sweet and cruel You dress me up I play your fool Bitter kisses Cherry-stained Dancing in your toxic game Candy-coated chains Oh they shine But I’m choking on the storyline (yeah I'm choking) I'm choking on the storyline.....
