Masquerade in the Ashes

I wore a thousand names like silver on my skin

Smiled through the smoke and let the chaos in

Every mirror lied, every door I shut

But I learned to bloom in the ashes of enough

All the bridges burned, still light my way

Cast gold on everything you broke that day

I don't run from your ruin, I move with grace

A ghost in heels with a storm in my face

I'm dancing through the rage

Looking perfect in the rain

Twirling over heartbreak

Like you never knew my name

Hidden behind the glitter

I was fire all along

Now the city hears my footsteps like a victory song

I'm dancing through the wreckage, yeah, I make it look like art

Ever scarred a constellation, never cut a work of art

You can keep the silence, I'll keep the shrine

I burned my old identity and made the night mine

They try to pin me down with a shadow and a vow

But I was always more than the mask I'm wearing now

Secrets in my lipstick, thunder in my chest

I learned how to survive by looking my best

All the bridges burned, still light my way

Casting gold, I'm everything you broke that day

I don't chase the ghosts, I make them sway

Turn the broken glass into a runway

I'm dressing for the wreckage

Looking perfect in the rain

Twirling over heartbreak

Like you never knew my name

Hidden behind the glitter

I was fire all along

Now the city hears my footsteps like a victory song

I'm destined for the receipts, yeah, I'll make you look like art

Every scar a constellation, every cut a work of art

You can keep the silence, I'll keep the shine

I'd burn my old identity and make the night mine

Whisper my secrets into the velvet dark

I'll turn every fracture in me to a spark

No more hiding, no more shame

I rise in the ruin, I wear my name

I'm dancing through the wreckage

Crowned in ash and light

Spinning ′cause the endings glitter kind through the night

Hidden behind the glitter, I was fire all along

Now the whole world sings the echo of my storm-born song

I'm dancing through the wreckage and I never looked back

With the little heartbreak glimmer of a soul dressed in black

You can keep the silence, I′ll keep the shine

But where I hold out enemy and make the night mine
