🎵 Ashes and Lipstick

[1950s Soul-Blues meets Sass & Swagger Mid-tempo groove, strut-worthy but rich with soul Vocal Feel: Smoky, proud, a little playful, still heartfelt, think Ruth Brown meets early Tina Turner] [Verse 1] Smoke in the mirror, heels on the floor, A past in pieces I don’t cry for no more. You left your mess and I let it burn, But sugar, I don’t beg — I let that page turn. [Chorus – Strut-worthy and smooth] 🎶 Ashes and lipstick, that’s all I need, A smoky goodbye and a little red heat. I kissed the fire, now I walk away, Ashes and lipstick... and I’m okay. 🎶 [Verse 2] There’s power in heels and grace in the scars, I wear my battles like midnight stars. You thought I’d crumble, you thought I’d fall, But honey, I’m still smilin’ through it all. [Chorus – Bigger, prouder] 🎶 Ashes and lipstick, that’s all I need, A smoky goodbye and a little red heat. I kissed the fire, now I walk away, Ashes and lipstick... and I’m okay. 🎶 [Bridge – Sultry and sweet with a wink] Mmm... Hearts break, but queens rise, With lashes long and sharper eyes... [Final Chorus – Belted and bold] 🎶 Ashes and lipstick, that’s all I need, Dancing through smoke with elegance and speed. I kissed the fire, now I own the day, Ashes and lipstick... I’m more than okay. 🎶 [Outro – Whispered & Slow Fade] Ashes and lipstick... That’s how I slay.
