Mask 🎭

Verse 1 You smile like a secret behind the glass, I look at my screen but I feel you pass. Coffee gets colder, the minutes bend, We talk like strangers, then burn again. Your name lights up and I lose my place, A corporate mask on a haunted face. We keep it polite, we keep it clean, But there’s blood on the silence in between. Pre-Chorus We say it’s nothing, we call it control, Two careful bodies with reckless souls. You pull me close with a formal tone, Then leave me freezing on my own. Chorus We’re a meeting room mirage, A fire in a locked garage. You want me near, then disappear, Like love was something we should fear. We’re a toxic little truth, Dressed in deadlines, dressed in suits. We push, we hide, we cross, we scar, Two falling stars in a company car. Verse 2 Your laugh cuts through the open floor, I swear I’ve known that sound before. Maybe in another life, another name, Same old wound, same old flame. We trade cold jokes by the photocopier, But every word gets heavier. You say “good job” like a loaded gun, Then act surprised when I come undone. Pre-Chorus We blame the stress, we blame the night, We blame the timing, never the light. But something ancient knows the score, It found us here behind office doors. Chorus We’re a meeting room mirage, A fire in a locked garage. You want me near, then disappear, Like love was something we should fear. We’re a toxic little truth, Dressed in deadlines, dressed in suits. We push, we hide, we cross, we scar, Two falling stars in a company car. Bridge Don’t write my name in your calendar, Don’t touch my hand by the printer. Don’t look at me like you remember What we were before December. Because if we fall, we fall too deep, Through office walls and stolen sleep. A karmic thread, a velvet chain, A pleasure wired to quiet pain. Final Chorus We’re a meeting room mirage, A fire in a locked garage. You want me near, then disappear, Like love was something we should fear. We’re a dangerous excuse, A pretty lie we both abuse. We push, we hide, we cross, we scar, Two broken hearts in a company car. Outro So send the mail, delete the draft, Pretend we never almost crashed. But every silence knows we are Two falling stars in a company car.
