Fleeting

I saw a stranger in the mirror
glass shattered in a bloodstained room
I spiraled down to nothing
as I watched what my rage consumed

Oh, promise me a dream inside a crystal ball
say I mean something
when I know I'm nothing at all
you dance with poison
while I flirt with death
a match made in heaven
go on and light up this room
we'll keep on going until the flame is dead

Last night I wished upon a star
and for once I wondered who you truly are
master of the ball
you donned your mask
we both have our secrets
unspoken questions we won't ever ask

So don't turn your back on me
I'm the living image of a hidden blade
and when the masquerade sees its end
promise me these memories won't fade
