Rikki Morningstar 🥁🎸
A Dark sleaze glam metal song with strong 1980s Sunset Strip attitude, inspired by Faster Pussycat and L, A, Guns, moody, dangerous, and seductive, Vocals should be male raspy, gritty, emotionally charged, slightly cynical and bitter in the Style Of Taime Downe, Backing vocals are rough, gang-style, slightly unpolished, adding attitude rather than harmony, Lead Guitar bluesy but aggressive lead guitar lines in the Style Of Traci Guns, expressive guitar solo with bends and attitude not shreddy, Rhythm Guitar Dirty, crunchy with palm-muted riffs and open chords in the Style Of Izzy Stradlin, Bass Groovy, prominent, that drives the song with a dirty low-end feel in the Style Of Kelly Nickels, Drums Punchy rock drum kit with a strong snare backbeat, steady kick, and cymbal accents building intensity in the chorus in the Style Of Tommy Lee, Mood & Theme : Toxic love, manipulation, deception, seductive lies, lipstick imagery, danger, emotional scars, nightlife romance gone wrong

Song By Blackthorn Riot Lyrics By Dain Wraithsworth, Rikki Morningstar, Duncan McCalmont ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro – gritty] Lipstick on the blade Yeah… I should’ve walked away [Verse 1] You paint your smile like a loaded gun Say my name like I’m the only one Red light glow on your skin so cold Every truth you sell is getting old You swear you’re clean, you swear you’re real But love with you is a backroom deal You kiss like heaven, cut like sin Pull me close — then disappear again [Pre-Chorus] Every word sounds sweet at first But sugar hides the thirst You don’t fall, you don’t try You just survive on lipstick lies [Chorus] Lipstick lies, cherry red Say forever, mean instead You play love like a loaded game Burn my heart, forget my name Lipstick lies, kiss goodbye You taste like truth, you bleed a lie [Verse 2] Your shadow dances on the wall You never stay when angels fall High heel steps, no regret You don’t lose sleep — I lose my breath You need chaos to feel alive Another soul to compromise I knew the rules, I rolled the dice Still paid the price for lipstick lies [Pre-Chorus] You don’t break, you don’t bend You just fake it till the end I see through your alibis But damn — you wear those lies just right [Chorus] Lipstick lies, cherry red Say forever, mean instead You play love like a loaded game Burn my heart, forget my name Lipstick lies, kiss goodbye You taste like truth, you bleed a lie [Bridge – dark, emotional] If love’s a crime, you’re walking free Leaving scars all over me I won’t beg, I won’t stay I learned your language — walked away [Breakdown] No more nights No more tries [expressive guitar solo with bends and attitude not shreddy] [Final Chorus] Lipstick lies, last call burns Now it’s you who never learns I’m done chasing pretty eyes I survived your lipstick lies [Outro – raw] Wipe it off The truth still shows
