(Verse 1) I pour a glass, swirl it around, Crimson dreams and a velvet sound. A truth serum, it feels so right, But the mirror’s blurring in the fading light. Got a story that I’m tellin’ y’all, Confidence makes me ten feet tall. I’m a king in a castle of my own design, A throne I built drinking red wine. (Chorus) Red wine misrepresentation, I’m the hero in my own creation. A heart of gold, out of sight, In the haze of that ruby twilight. Oh, I’m painting pictures, true, Just a drunk artist with a point of view. Red wine misrepresentation, Living large in my intoxication. (Verse 2) I’m a lover with a poet’s heart, Am I a fool making cheap art? Words just spill out like a waterfall, Echoes from the back of a dimly lit hall. Talkin’ ’bout dreams I don’t chase, Strangers’ eyes, don’t see my face. The glow of the bottle, felt down my spine, I’m just a ghost in the shadow of wine. (Chorus) Red wine misrepresentation, I’m the hero in my own creation. A heart of gold, out of sight, In the haze of that ruby twilight. Oh, I’m painting pictures, true, Just a drunk artist with a point of view. Red wine misrepresentation, Living large in my intoxication. (Bridge) When the sun comes up and the bottle’s dry, I’m a silhouette, a faded guy. The stories I’ve spun, they drift away, Just a moment lost in the wine-soaked sway. (Chorus) Red wine misrepresentation, I’m the hero in my own creation. A heart of gold, out of sight, In the haze of that ruby twilight. Oh, I’m painting pictures, true, Just a drunk artist with a point of view. Red wine misrepresentation, Living large in my intoxication. (Outro) So cheers to tales and grand designs, To the blurry nights and the tangled lines. I’ll raise a glass to my own mistakes, In the morning light, am I a fake. Red wine misrepresentation, A toast to my own intoxication.
