KAIA RAY, almost real., Damon Price - After Midnight

City lights are painting shadows on my skin Everybody’s watching, nobody gets in Another perfect picture on another screen But the silence gets so loud when I leave the scene I hear my heels on the marble floor Same empty hallway, same locked door They love the girl they dream about But they don’t know what I’m without Tell me what remains When the makeup fades Tell me who I am When nobody stays After midnight Everybody says my name After midnight Nothing feels the same After midnight All the diamonds fade away After midnight Who am I when I’m not on display Camera flashes follow every step I take Every smile I wear is one more thing to fake They see the spotlight burning in my eyes They never see the lonely side of paradise Every room gets colder when the music ends All these faces looking like familiar friends I’m standing where I wanted to be Still searching for what’s missing in me Tell me what remains When the makeup fades Tell me who I am When nobody stays After midnight Everybody says my name After midnight Nothing feels the same After midnight All the diamonds fade away After midnight Who am I when I’m not on display When the city finally falls asleep I hear the questions calling me If they love the girl they always see Would they love the woman underneath After midnight Everybody says my name After midnight Nothing feels the same After midnight All the diamonds fade away After midnight Who am I when I’m not on display After midnight When the lights all disappear After midnight The real me is standing here After midnight After midnight The real me is standing here
