Lipstick Alibis

Verse 1 Morning light cuts through the blinds, coffee’s cold and I’m out of time. Paint on a face that the world believes, bite my tongue till it starts to bleed. If truth’s a wound, I’ll hide the scar, and sell my strength in a shaking jar. Chorus Lipstick alibis, red on the glass, cover the cracks, don’t let them ask. Lipstick alibis, warpaint disguise, smile like a sinner, look in my eyes. Verse 2 Engine growls like it knows my name, radio spits out the same old blame. Every mile’s another mask, every breath another task. Fake it loud so the hurt can’t speak, I learned to roar so I wouldn’t weep. Chorus Lipstick alibis, red on the glass, cover the cracks, don’t let them ask. Lipstick alibis, warpaint disguise, smile like a sinner, look in my eyes. Bridge Strip it down, burn the shine, let the metal in my voice define— the part of me that never dies, the truth beneath these alibis. Final Chorus / Outro Lipstick alibis, bleeding through chrome, this is my armor, this is my home. Lipstick alibis, I’m still alive— turn it up loud, I survived.
