Cold Refraction

[Intro]
[Verse]
Silver rain on the brick
Lies are making me sick
Found the gift that you left
A beautiful theft
Cracked stones in the mud
Colder than my blood
I’m standing by the bin
Where the losers begin
Watching steam rise up high
Under a violet sky
You’re a ghost in the hall
I don’t miss you at all
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows dance on the floor
I don’t want any more
The velvet was a lie
Now I’m saying goodbye
It’s a quiet kind of thrill
When the world stands still
And I finally see the light
In the middle of the night
[Chorus]
Cracked diamonds in the dark
I’ve lost the spark
Watch the neon turn to gray
I’m walking away
No more games to play
It’s a brand new day
Victory tastes like rain
Washing out the stain
I’m the queen of the street
In this cool defeat
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, the ice is breaking)
(Ooh, the soul is taking)
Back what was mine
In my own time
Back what was mine
Feeling so fine
[Verse]
Wet asphalt under my boots
Cutting all of the roots
The upscale lounge is closed
Everything is exposed
You thought I’d break down
In this lonely town
But I’m holding the glass
Watching the minutes pass
Your jewelry is flawed
Just a shiny fraud
I’m outrunning the ghost
The one I loved most
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows dance on the floor
I don’t want any more
The velvet was a lie
Now I’m saying goodbye
It’s a quiet kind of thrill
When the world stands still
And I finally see the light
In the middle of the night
[Chorus]
Cracked diamonds in the dark
I’ve lost the spark
Watch the neon turn to gray
I’m walking away
No more games to play
It’s a brand new day
Victory tastes like rain
Washing out the stain
I’m the queen of the street
In this cool defeat
[Bridge]
Soft smoke in the air
I no longer care
Refractions in the street
Make the win so sweet
No screaming, no rage
Just turning the page
A surgical cut
The back door is shut
I’m free in the mist
With a bare, cold wrist
[Chorus]
Cracked diamonds in the dark
I’ve lost the spark
Watch the neon turn to gray
I’m walking away
No more games to play
It’s a brand new day
Victory tastes like rain
Washing out the stain
I’m the queen of the street
In this cool defeat
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, the ice is breaking)
(Ooh, the soul is taking)
Back what was mine
In my own time
Back what was mine
Feeling so fine
[Outro]
