Lyrics Lipstick Stains And A Quiet Death - Frank Hermans

In the mirror's glass, her eyes reflect
A heavy storm she's learned to deflect
She paints her lips a shade of dusk
In broken dreams of bitter musk

He lies behind, his breath a weight
A distant gaze, a settled fate
His hand once gentle, now a noose
The bed they share, a tightening truce

Lipstick stains and a quiet death
Shadows dance till their final breath

She's shivering inside, the lipstick glides
Hiding bruises where fear resides
Each stroke a mask, a final plea
In the glow of the morning, she's yet to flee

The room's too small for whispered lies
Yet wide enough for false goodbyes
She feels the shift, the turning wheel
An end unspoken, and yet so real

Lipstick stains and a quiet death
Shadows dance till their final breath

The air is thick, his eyes half-closed
Beneath the calm, his intentions exposed
Her pulse quickens in the fleeting night
She wonders if she'll live to see the light

Lipstick stains and a quiet death
Shadows dance till their final breath

But still, she sits, her face adorned
Like a famous actress, frozen, warned
The script's been written, but not by her
Her future being nothing but a big blur

Lipstick stains and a quiet death
Shadows dance till their final breath

Lipstick stains and a quiet death
Shadows dance till their final breath

Lipstick stains and a quiet death
Shadows dance till their final breath
