Gloss

[Verse 1] White walls breathe fluorescent blue The flowers never learn to wilt Every photograph remembers me Better than I ever will The mirrors keep improving Every version that they hold Somewhere underneath the finish Something softer won’t take gold ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Another coat Another cure Another way To make the edges blur ⸻ [Chorus] Gloss Hold me to the light Until the grain disappears Gloss Nothing ever dries If it never meets the air Everything reflects Nothing absorbs Beautiful surfaces Closing every door ⸻ [Verse 2] Mercury inside the glass Makes every room look twice as deep We decorate the empty spaces So the silence doesn’t speak Someone turned the brightness higher Someone softened every line Funny how immaculate things Can leave no place to hide ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Another pass Another shine Another layer Borrowed over mine ⸻ [Chorus] Gloss Catch me at the angle Where I almost look complete Gloss Every perfect finish Makes forgetting look so clean Everything reflects Nothing absorbs Beautiful surfaces Closing every door ⸻ [Bridge] No fingerprints No splinters No evidence The wood was ever living No weather No seasons No daylight Gets underneath The varnish Long enough To change it ⸻ [Break] Leave the lights on. Leave the cameras rolling. If nobody touches it, Nothing has to heal. ⸻ [Final Chorus] Gloss Until the color settles Into something I can wear Gloss Every little fracture Hidden underneath the glare Everything reflects Nothing absorbs Beautiful surfaces Closing every door ⸻ [Outro] White walls. Bright lights. One more coat. Looks right.
