Black Lipstick

(album: The Noble Rot - 2020)

I don't remember your name
I don't remember how we met
We made it home on the train
But after that I just forget
You said life is a lie
(You said life is a lie)
As you laid down on the bed
Then you started to cry
(Then you started to cry)
And sang "Bela Lugosi's Dead"

You left black lipstick
Black lipstick on my sheets

I don't remember your name
I don't remember how we met
Drunk fools in the rain
Was that a promise or just a threat?
You said you wanted to crawl
(You said you wanted to crawl)
To fall apart is the only way
Scratched onto the wall
(Scratched onto the wall)
Whispering, you don't need to stay

You left black lipstick
Black lipstick on my sheets
You left black lipstick
Black lipstick all over me

Breaking the mirrors to black out the vision
Breaking the mirrors so you'll never see
Breaking the mirrors so there's no decision
Breaking the mirrors so you'll never be alone
Alone, alone

I don't remember your name

You left black lipstick
Black lipstick on my sheets
You left black lipstick
Black lipstick all over me
