Midnight Crowned - Invitation Only

Red room, black tie Everybody here looks good enough to die Soft hands, old names Nobody bothers explaining the game Don't stare Don't reach Don't touch anything they didn't offer first Sit straight Smile sweet And never let them see you at your worst There's a language in the silence There's a price beneath hello When somebody calls you darling That's when you should watch them close Invitation only Come inside Everybody's beautiful Everybody lies Kiss the hand Mind the knife They'll promise you forever Just to own you for a night Invitation only Dress to die There's always room for one more If you're pretty If you're quiet If you're invited inside Crystal glass, red stain Someone laughs like pleasure sounds a lot like pain Old rules, new face Every lovely thing is standing in its place I know when to speak I know when to bow I know why nobody's touching the roses now Funny thing Knowing the game Doesn't mean you ever wanted to play Every promise has a doorway Every doorway has a rule And the prettiest mouths in heaven Say the ugliest things to you Invitation only Come inside Everybody's beautiful Everybody lies Kiss the hand Mind the knife They'll promise you forever Just to own you for a night Invitation only Dress to die There's always room for one more If you're pretty If you're quiet If you're invited inside Never take the first glass. Never ask what's upstairs. Never mistake good manners for mercy. And if they offer you forever Ask what happened to everyone who said yes. SMILE. Like you belong here. BOW. Like you believe. LET THEM PUT THEIR HANDS OUT THEN GIVE THEM NOTHING THEY CAN KEEP. I KNOW THE WORDS. I KNOW THE SIGNS. I KNOW WHICH SIDE OF EVERY LINE. I learned your beautiful language. I NEVER SAID IT WAS MINE. Invitation only I'm inside Everybody's beautiful Everybody lies Kissed the hand Found the knife You offered me forever I think I'll keep my life Invitation only Look alive There's always room for one more But now you're wondering Who the hell Invited me inside? Red room. Black tie. Everybody here looks good enough to die.
