Verse 1 Moonlight folds in the glass of your ring Your shadow leans where the lamplight sings I taste the hush in the air you keep Like a book half-closed, like a vow half-asleep Chorus Porcelain veins, under my hands We move like thieves in a foreign land Your name’s still warm in another bed But here, it’s a ghost on my tongue instead Verse 2 Your eyes — a tide that forgets the shore We speak in codes we don’t need anymore The clock won’t chime, but the night still knows How the garden blooms where the river slows Chorus Porcelain veins, under my hands We move like thieves in a foreign land Your name’s still warm in another bed But here, it’s a ghost on my tongue instead Bridge (half-time, falsetto harmonies) Every breath is a borrowed flame Every touch writes a different name We are the silence between two lies We are the truth that the dark denies Verse 3 (soft, almost spoken) Dawn spills gold on the sheets we stain Your hair still smells of the night’s domain You slip away with your wedding band Like a secret folded in someone else’s hand Final Chorus (layered vocals, swelling pads) Porcelain veins, under my hands We move like thieves in a foreign land Your name’s still warm in another bed But here, it’s a ghost on my tongue instead Outro [instrumental fade, whispered refrain] Porcelain… porcelain… Ghost on my tongue…
