Pearls from Kay Francis by Miracle Cat

I was a ghost
A Double exposure
At the edge of the frame
And every word was erased for the sake of the trades

Only a touch
Only a witness
Only an army of eyes
Only a slow quarter turn in the glow of the arclight


I lived the dream of a lost youth
I lived the dream of a lost youth

I lived a life tearing off pearls
I lived a life burning in frames

With each and every close of the shutter
I leave it all behind me

deep in the heat of the night
I savor this pain

I lived a life tearing off pearls
I lived a life burning in frames


Trust…
every desire
in the flavor of skin
In the cold silver light, I can feel it begin.

With every turn,
every direction
We bring a desert to life
And every word a mirage in the hush of the moonlight


I lived the dream of a lost youth
I lived the dream of a lost youth

I lived a life tearing off pearls
I lived a life burning in frames

With each and every close of the shutter
I leave it all behind me

deep in the heat of the night
I savor this pain

I lived a life tearing off pearls
I lived a life burning in frames
