Velvet Shadows

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sip your latte with a pinky raised, Cursive words in a hollowed phrase. Mirror shades hide your borrowed gaze, A vintage coat from a thrift-store maze. [Chorus] Oh, we’re plastic diamonds in the neon glare, Dancing through a world that isn’t there. Jangle guitars and a synth-wave hum, Pretend we’re someone till the morning comes. [Verse 2] Quote Bukowski in a crowded room, Name-drop films that you’ve never viewed. Laugh too loud at the jokes you feign, A Polaroid soul in a digital frame. [Chorus] Oh, we’re plastic diamonds in the neon glare, Dancing through a world that isn’t there. Jangle guitars and a synth-wave hum, Pretend we’re someone till the morning comes. [Bridge] The vinyl crackles with your curated pain, A minimalist heart with a maximalist name. You’re a paperback sage in a hardcover game, But the ink’s running dry—it all feels the same. [Verse 3] Monochrome dreams in a 4K haze, Rewrite your past in a post-truth phase. Strut the sidewalk like a runway stage, A cameo life on a borrowed page. [Chorus] Oh, we’re plastic diamonds in the neon glare, Dancing through a world that isn’t there. Jangle guitars and a synth-wave hum, Pretend we’re someone till the morning comes. [Outro]
