Fading Perfume

City lights blur, it’s Friday again

Stuck in the rhythm, lost in the beat

Then I see you—ghost in the crowd

Your shadow hits like déjà vu pain

Breath gone, the world skips a beat

Memories hit like summer heat

Laughing ‘til we couldn’t breathe

Now it’s all beneath the grief

First the highs, perfume and sweat

Dancing ‘til the sun was set

Then your silence cut like knives

Eyes too dark to hold the light

Yeah… too dark to hold the light

The melody fades—now screams instead

You broke us like a cigarette

Rain on skin, your lips on mine

Only to drop me one last time

Chest tight, the dread moves in

Lies dressed up like innocence

You’re back like some old sin

Still playing games I can’t outrun

First the highs, perfume and sweat

Dancing ‘til the sun was set

Then your silence cut like knives

Eyes too dark to hold the light

Yeah… too dark to hold the light

Buried deep beneath this town

But you still haunt the underground

Still got poison in my veins

Just a ghost beneath the rain

First the highs, perfume and sweat

Dancing ‘til the sun was set

Then your silence cut like knives

Eyes too dark to hold the light

Yeah… too dark to hold the light

Now you’re gone, scent in the air

I’m chasing flickers, you’re not there

Fading light, fading love

Just a memory dressed like you
