Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Flashlight cuts the velvet dark
Metal clicks like a spark
Harp strings start to hum
Static beats on a drum
Oil skin begins to glow
Watch the pigment start to flow
Heavy canvas starts to weep
While the city is asleep
[Pre-Chorus]
Gold is dripping on the floor
I can’t look away no more
Shadows dance across the hall
Hear the silent voices call
[Chorus]
Step out from the heavy frame
Forget your given public name
The gilded wood is turning wet
A secret life we won't forget
Dance beneath the glass and stone
In a world we’ve never known
Every border turns to rain
Washing off the painted stain
[Post-Chorus]
Melting frames in the light
Ghostly figures in the night
Melting frames in the light
Hold the magic very tight
[Verse]
(Spoken)
She wore a velvet hat
He held a silver bat
They trade a quiet look
Like pages in a book
“I loved a baker’s son”
“I died before the fun”
The labels lie to us
In layers of the dust
[Pre-Chorus]
Silver drips upon the tile
See the painted lady smile
Rigid poses start to break
For a private memory's sake
[Chorus]
Step out from the heavy frame
Forget your given public name
The gilded wood is turning wet
A secret life we won't forget
Dance beneath the glass and stone
In a world we’ve never known
Every border turns to rain
Washing off the painted stain
[Bridge]
They only saw the pose
The stillness of the rose
But inside the canvas heart
Lies the truly living part
No more standing in a row
Let the hidden feelings show
Beyond the artist's narrow view
Everything they felt was true
[Chorus]
Step out from the heavy frame
Forget your given public name
The gilded wood is turning wet
A secret life we won't forget
Dance beneath the glass and stone
In a world we’ve never known
Every border turns to rain
Washing off the painted stain
[Post-Chorus]
Melting frames in the light
Ghostly figures in the night
Melting frames in the light
Hold the magic very tight
[Break]
[Chorus]
Step out from the heavy frame
Forget your given public name
The gilded wood is turning wet
A secret life we won't forget
Dance beneath the glass and stone
In a world we’ve never known
Every border turns to rain
Washing off the painted stain
[Outro]
