You call me from the frame with ink on your hands I wear your careful stare like a dress that won’t end You catch me in the glass of a room I don’t know Your lens holding on when I try to let go You chase me with a fever like I’m a holy fire Your hands shake on the frame when I pose as your desire You say I look unreal, like I stepped out of a dream But I feel you reaching like you’re drowning in the sea You built me out of smoke and a page full of rain You gave my mouth a secret and my shadow your name Your camera blinks at me like it knows what I became I should have stayed a whisper, but you wrought me in frame Don’t look away now You taught the dark my name You lit the room around me Now stand inside the flame I’m your Red Room muse I know what you lose When you step too close I see it too I’m your Red Room muse And you can’t refuse I pull you in Then I look through you You write me on the page with ink like a sin I wear your inner light like a dress on my skin You paint me in the dark like a beautiful verse Then undress me again to reveal your own hurt I know the way you pray when I turn to leave I know you call me muse, and I hear your need And I smile so sweet while the night goes cold Cause I love your longing, but I love my hold You made a shrine of me in every film you made I know you’d cross any room if I called your name So I let you believe you were still in control While I turn the lock and keep the key in my soul Don’t close your eyes now You framed me for this part You wanted something beautiful That knew your secret heart I’m your Red Room muse I know what you lose When you step too close I see you too I’m your Red Room muse And you can’t refuse I pull you in Then I look through you Say my name in the dark Like a vow you can’t keep You made me out of hunger Now I live in your sleep I’m the one you want I’m the one you fear Keep looking deep As I pull you near I’m the one you want I’m the one you fear Let it hurt I’m already here I’m your Red Room muse I know what you lose When you step too close Now I’ve captured you I’m your Red Room muse And you can’t refuse I pull you in Then I look through you You wanted beauty with a blade in its smile You wanted mystery that stayed for a while You lit the Red Room and whispered my name Now look what you called from the hush and the flame You wanted a fever you could frame and control A girl made of velvet with a key in her soul But the room learned to breathe, and the image came through Now every door you open is me looking back at you Oh, you see my ghost in the glass, in the dark A beautiful spark Then it’s over Oh, you fall so hard when I shine my dark star But the light is far And colder I’m your Red Room muse I know what you lose When you step too close Now I’ve captured you I’m your Red Room muse And you can’t refuse I pull you in Then I look through you Your Red Room muse Red Room muse
