The Masterpiece

[Intro]
[Verse]
Silk gloves on the cold glass
Wait for the guards to pass
Midnight on the top floor
Slip through the heavy door
The original is mine to keep
While the city starts to sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Static in the silent air
I can feel your angry stare
But you’re looking at a lie
Watch the golden colors die
[Chorus]
I left a ghost behind
A trick of a clever mind
You bought the frame
I stole the name
Honey, it’s a perfect crime
Running out of borrowed time
[Post-Chorus]
Carbon copy, cold and lean
The prettiest lie you've ever seen
Carbon copy, cold and lean
The prettiest lie you've ever seen
[Verse]
Heels clicking on the stone
I am better off alone
You chase a shadow in the hall
Watching every empire fall
The canvas is still wet
The easiest win I’ve met
[Pre-Chorus]
Static in the silent air
I can feel your angry stare
But you’re looking at a lie
Watch the golden colors die
[Chorus]
I left a ghost behind
A trick of a clever mind
You bought the frame
I stole the name
Honey, it’s a perfect crime
Running out of borrowed time
[Bridge]
Check the brushstrokes, check the ink
Faster than a human blink
I am the ink, I am the pen
You’ll never see my face again
Burn the ledger, burn the vault
This was always your own fault
[Hook]
Sultry lies and oil paint
I’m a sinner, you’re no saint
Sultry lies and oil paint
I’m a sinner, you’re no saint
[Chorus]
I left a ghost behind
A trick of a clever mind
You bought the frame
I stole the name
Honey, it’s a perfect crime
Running out of borrowed time
[Outro]
