Verse 1
Elevator rising, quiet in the hall
I’m walking on the edge, waiting for the fall
You’re standing in the shadow, a suit of perfect grey
The kind of hunter’s silence that takes my breath away
I signed the line in ink, but I feel it in my skin
The game is just beginning, so let the dark rush in.
Pre-Chorus
My pulse is a hammer, beating on the glass
One look from you and the seconds never pass
You want the secret, you want the hidden key
You want to own the very ghost of me.
Chorus
So tie the knot and pull the thread
Paint the world in shades of red
I’m lost inside your gilded cage
A beautiful and hollow rage
The pain is sweet, the light is dim
I’m drowning on the silver rim
Between the shadow and the soul
I’m giving you the full control.
Verse 2
The playroom door is open, the rules are on the wall
You catch me when I stumble, then you make me crawl
A touch like frozen lightning, a kiss like velvet fire
I’m a prisoner of my own burning desire
Don’t ask me for my heart, I gave you that before
Just show me what the darkness has in store.
Bridge
No more secrets, no more lies
Just the hunger in your eyes
Break the limits, find the edge
I’m standing on the marble ledge
(Whispered) Do you feel it? Are you mine?
Take me past the safety line.
Chorus
So tie the knot and pull the thread
Paint the world in shades of red
I’m lost inside your gilded cage
A beautiful and hollow rage
The pain is sweet, the light is dim
I’m drowning on the silver rim
Between the shadow and the soul
I’m giving you the full control.
Outro
Fifty shades of silver...
Fifty shades of blue...
I never knew the dark
Could look so much like you.
(Fade out with heavy breathing and a single piano note)
