Black Tie, Black Soul

Mirror shows a man dressed fine, Cufflinks gold, shoes that shine. But the eyes don’t lie, they take their toll, It’s a black tie, black soul.

(Male) Black tie, black soul, (Female) No silk can make you whole. (Together) You dress the sin, but it still takes hold, In a black tie, black soul.

(Male) I toast to pride with a glass of red, (Female) But I see the blood on the words you said. (Male) Charm’s a mask, but the cracks still show, (Female) You can’t escape that black tie, black soul.

(Male) Black tie, black soul, (Female) No velvet can make you whole. (Together) You dress the sin, but it still takes hold, In a black tie, black soul.

(Female) You dance in shadows, you smile in smoke, But I hear the vow every lie you spoke. (Male – whisper echo) Cloth may shine, but the dark still knows… (Female – rising) The black tie hides a blackened soul.

(Male) Black tie, black soul, (Female) No silk can make you whole. (Together) You dress the sin, but it still takes hold, In a black tie, black soul.
