The Mirrors Remember

[Verse 1] Candles lean in Wax tears on gold Dust on the frame Names long unsaid Gloves on the rail Heel marks in red Chandelier breathing Over my head [Chorus] The mirrors remember What the bodies let go Every turn Every touch Every yes Every no I dance with the echo Of a life I miswore The glass holds my secrets Till it can’t hold more [Verse 2] Velvet is frayed At the edge of our vows Perfume still clings Where no one burns now Ladies in tatters Men made of sighs We curtsy to portraits They lower their eyes [Chorus] [Bridge] You bow like a stranger But your shadow knows my name On the silver We are younger On the floor We’re not the same Spin me through the flashing Of a past that never ends In the ballroom of reflection We are almost flesh again [Chorus]
