Midnight Motel Mirrors
[Intro: Slow trip-hop beat building up with a haunting electric guitar] [Verse 1: Female Vocal] Fluorescent lights are buzzing in the hall Peeling wallpaper on a bathroom wall I stare into the glass but I don't see me Just a hollow shell of who I used to be The ice machine is humming down the stairs A desperate soundtrack for a love nobody shares [Verse 2: Male Vocal] I’m lying on the bed with my boots still on Waiting for the dark to turn into the dawn There’s a bottle of bourbon on the nightstand And a trembling ache in my heavy hand I hear you crying through the bathroom door But I don't know how to save us anymore [Pre-Chorus: Both] We crossed the state line just to lose our minds Leaving all the fragments of our souls behind [Chorus: Both] Midnight motel mirrors reflecting all our lies I see the bitter ending in your heavy eyes We’re chasing down a fever we can never cure Two lost sinners washed up on the shore Hold me in the neon, pretend that it’s all fine Drink the poison with me, one last time [Instrumental Interlude: Dark ambient synth with a slow, heavy bass drop] [Verse 3: Female Vocal] A siren wails out on the interstate Reminding us that it's getting awfully late [Male Vocal] You put your lipstick on to hide the bruise But darling, in this game we only lose [Pre-Chorus: Both] We crossed the state line just to lose our minds Leaving all the fragments of our souls behind [Chorus: Both] Midnight motel mirrors reflecting all our lies I see the bitter ending in your heavy eyes We’re chasing down a fever we can never cure Two lost sinners washed up on the shore Hold me in the neon, pretend that it’s all fine Drink the poison with me, one last time [Bridge: Both] [Female Vocal] Is it madness? [Male Vocal] Or just a tragic grace? [Both] We are running from a ghost we cannot face. The sheets are tangled, the air is cold A story of decay that never gets old. [Outro: Both] Midnight mirrors... [Female Vocal]: Shutter the blinds. [Male Vocal]: Out of our minds. [Both]: Fade into the night. [Fading Outro: Slow echoing guitar chords fading into static tape noise] [End]
