‘Powdered Beauty’- written by Cota Mati

Lyrics: BRIONI SOUNDS x COTA MATI “POWDERED BEAUTY” [Intro] Yeah… It looked like diamonds in the light, But every sparkle had a price. Brioni Sounds… Cota Mati… [Chorus] Powdered beauty, dressed in white, Looked like heaven for a night. Pretty lies under the lights, Then you wake up and lose the shine. Powdered beauty, calling my name, Promised pleasure, delivered pain. What looked like gold became a chain, Now I know beauty can be fake. [Verse 1] Midnight city, neon glow, Everybody moving like they already know. A little white line looking like snow, But nobody tells you where it goes. Music loud, bottles on the table, Everybody acting like they’re stable. It whispers, “You can touch the sky,” But every promise comes with a lie. [Pre-Chorus] It looked so pure under the light, But it couldn’t make the wrong feel right. One moment high, next moment low, That’s the part they never show. [Chorus] Powdered beauty, dressed in white, Looked like heaven for a night. Pretty lies under the lights, Then you wake up and lose the shine. Powdered beauty, calling my name, Promised pleasure, delivered pain. What looked like gold became a chain, Now I know beauty can be fake. [Verse 2] Mama said, “Son, don’t lose your way,” So I learned some things ain’t worth the price you pay. Real beauty isn’t something that destroys, It’s being alive, hearing your people make noise. So I left that illusion in the city smoke, Chose my future over somebody else’s joke. Now the only thing I’m chasing tonight Is a better life underneath these lights. [Outro] Powdered beauty… It wasn’t beauty after all. Sometimes the brightest things Can cast the darkest shadow. Brioni Sounds… Cota Mati.
