15. Lipstick Alibis (Reprise) v10.10

[tape saturation, subtle analog warmth] Verse The mirror doesn’t argue now, it just shows what it shows. I used to hide behind the gloss, but that girl doesn’t glow. Refrain No more alibis, no colored lies, no painted calm to carry through. I’m serious now — and that’s enough, to be the kind that tells the truth. Outro The light’s too honest to pretend, and I don’t need to anymore. I wash my face, I start again — the way I should’ve done before.
