(Chorus)
Yeah, the moon's a cracked-up mirror, shinin' down upon my face
And the wind, she's a sweet seductress, leadin' me to this quiet place
No need for your cheap comfort, no fakin' smiles or lies
Just the black velvet curtain, and the stars in my weary eyes.
This ain't loneliness, baby, this is peace, raw and true
Just me and the midnight, and a damn good bottle of blue.

(Verse 2)
Hear the distant sirens wailin', a restless, mournful cry
Used to feel that ache inside me, wonderin' where they're flyin' by
Now it's just a soundtrack, to this symphony of dark
Each empty street a canvas, for the burnin' of my spark.

(Bridge)
They say you need somebody, to keep the demons at bay
But these demons, honey, they're my oldest friends, they know how to play
They don't demand no promises, no tender words or touch
They just sit beside me, and don't fuck me over much.

(Guitar Solo - raw, bluesy, with moments of soaring, desperate wails)

(Outro)
Yeah, a bottle of blue... and I ain't complainin'.
Just the silence. Oh, the silence.
And it's mine. All mine.
(Fade out with a final, weary exhale and a distant guitar riff)

(Verse 1) Streetlights bleedin' orange, paintin' puddles on the ground Another Friday night, and ain't nobody hangin' 'round Used to chase those shadows, fill the silence with a shout Now I just let 'em whisper, let the lonely seep right out (Chorus) Yeah, the moon's a cracked-up mirror, shinin' down upon my face And the wind, she's a sweet seductress, leadin' me to this quiet place No need for your cheap comfort, no fakin' smiles or lies Just the black velvet curtain, and the stars in my weary eyes.
