[Intro] (Ooh) [Verse 1] Glass clinks, hush falls, lights fade slow A whisper where there's a scent you know Smoke in the air, gold in the tone I am the echo that stands alone [Verse 2] Black lace language, laughter sparks Every secret blooms in the dark You think it's over when I leave That's when the magic starts to breathe [Chorus] You can't hold what isn't still Desire bends to a finer will Afterimage, I remain Not in sight, but in your vein I trace it through the flame You never say my name the same [Verse 3] Under the shadows, crystal haze I walk through mirrors that obey Every glance a perfect crime Every sense suspends the time Touch the air and I appear Closer now, but never near [Chorus] Afterimage, I remain Luxury beyond compare You'll find me in the space between What you remember and what you've seen [Bridge] (Na-na-na-na) Notes of fire, notes of rain Nothing lost, nothing to explain Pleasure hums, the night agrees Power wears its subtleties [Chorus] Afterimage, shadow gold The stories whispered, never told When the curtain meets the flame I remain after you miss [Outro] The crowd forgets, the air does not You breathe and I am caught (Mmm)
