[Verse] Moonlight dripping on the shattered stage Smoke curls twist in a quiet rage Cobwebs hum with a hollow twang Shadows leap where the chandeliers hang [Chorus] Stomp in the dust where the ghosts all sing Candles flicker like they’re in on the thing Raise your glass to the crooked veil We’re carving life from a moonlit tale [Verse 2] Rustling whispers past the velvet drape The clock’s stuck ticking in a timeless scrape Mirror reflects what we’d rather not see The masquerade spins like a storm-torn sea [Bridge] Broken hearts in a bottle of fire Lurking truths strung higher and higher The timberline creaks and the stars swim low A shrouded serenade where secrets won’t go [Chorus] Stomp in the dust where the ghosts all sing Candles flicker like they’re in on the thing Raise your glass to the crooked veil We’re carving life from a moonlit tale [Verse 3] Splinters of night ripple through the floor Laughter’s sharp as a lockless door A fiddle weeps a tune unkind Crow feathers sweep through a headless find
