[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] You walked in cool and confident Like you just walked from a crash Pressed suit, no evidence A smile cut from glass No one knows whose fault it was No one really cares Absurdity on display Perfumed in vacant stares [Pre-Chorus] Dark is noir — Humor, just a sprinkle When nothing makes sense We let the crystal clink [Chorus] Tonight the attire is satire Tailored to survive Let’s open champagne While we watch the world ignite Tonight the attire is satire Silk over desire If everything’s absurd We might as well admire the fire [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Detached but perfectly framed Polished to conceal If truth is out of fashion Irony will seal the deal Laughter keeps it elegant No sorrow on display If tears are unprofitable We tuck them safely away [Verse 3] Tonight the attire is satire Velvet, smoke and wire Silk and pearls As the drama unfurls Grace under pressure Glitter over pain Keep the drama in the art And out of my life [Bridge] If we cannot stop the chaos We accessorize the flame Since there’s nothing we can do We might as well laugh it off [Final Chorus] Tonight the attire is satire Velvet, smoke and wire Let’s raise a glass to nothing And toast the quiet choir Tonight the attire is satire Composed and dressed to admire If life’s a grand disaster We’ll dress for the fire [Outro – whispered] Be my guest — The attire is satire. [Final Line] Today, I choose aesthetics over hysteria.
