Flickerfade

We met where the skyline swallowed the stars, Smoke in your hand, and pain in your eyes. Your laugh cracked like thunder behind broken bars, But your lips told stories the moon still hides. You said, "I don’t stay long, just one more night," I poured you a drink, you poured out your past. The DJ spun heartbreaks, soaked in red light, And time slowed down, just long enough to last. You danced like the world was ending at dawn, A ghost in leather, a flame in gold. Your perfume whispered where my heart had gone, And your silence echoed louder than you told. We kissed like rebels before they run, Like we were meant to burn and not belong. Under neon, baby, we’re both pretendin’ Two lost souls just barely mendin’ You’re the calm before my stormy season No names, no lies — just midnight reasons I don’t know you, but I knew you tonight Flashes of fire in passing streetlight We fade like smoke in a rooftop sky But I’ll replay you 'til the day I die Your touch was jazz in a vinyl hiss Old-school pain in a new-age kiss I traced your scars like Braille of fate And tasted truth you tried to fake You lit a match, I struck a flame Both of us players in someone’s game No promises, no future plan Just shaky breath and trembling hands We said goodbye like lovers lie Your cab pulled off, no reasons why Now every rooftop, every bar I chase that ghost of who you are Flicker-fade... gone before you came Heart strobe-pain... dancin’ in the rain Name in the smoke... never said again Midnight flame... just neon and shame Under neon, baby, we’re both pretendin’ Two lost souls just barely mendin’ You’re the calm before my stormy season No names, no lies — just midnight reasons I don’t know you, but I knew you tonight Flashes of fire in passing streetlight We fade like smoke in a rooftop sky But I’ll replay you 'til the day I die © 2025 - skvadMC
