Brilliant Silence (Demo)

[Verse 1]

Under the moonlight, hand in hand

Under the influence, they took a chance

They say that Hollywood is bad for lovers

They held onto one another, and she closed her eyelids

As they danced in brilliant silence

[Verse 2]

Morning came, and they said their goodbyes

As she boarded a plane for the fame and the lights

His eyes fell to the floor

He said, "I don't know what you're looking for

I hope you find it"

There was brilliant silence

[Verse 3]

In three weeks all her money was gone

Someone stopped her on the street, said, "How'd you like a job?"

But the producer said she was wrong

"We need your hair to be blonde," so she dyed it

And she wept in brilliant silence

[Verse 4]

She got in line with the other girls

They gave her a dress and some floating pearls

Led her to hair and makeup and explained the scene

You'll be in the background

A song and dance routine

Just move around and fake a smile

Pretend that you're having fun

And if you're nervous, don't worry

You're not the only one, just try to hide it

She danced in brilliant silence

[Verse 5]

The telephone rings, she wipes the sleep from her eyes

He says, "Hey, it's me," and she cracks a smile

She tells him that she's getting by

And that it's only a matter of time

And the line goes quiet

They sat in brilliant silence
