letra de ecstasies of women - scarlett bittencourt

[verse 1]
harry at the velvet door, tomorrow stitched in white
last-call cigarette, neon bleeding through the night
friends laugh like witnesses, push him toward the glow
go-go girls compose a scripture only nightbirds know
glasses clink like verdicts, lighters trace the lies
every laugh a loose confession, every shadow a disguise
he scans the room for ghost faces, past lovers on parade
a thousand small rebellions in the promises he made

[pre-chorus]
memory pulls like tidе, a filmstrip in his head
faces move in flash and hush — thе words they left unsaid
there’s a girl with summer breath who blooms inside his stare
and every heartbeat writes a question he can’t wear

[chorus]
ecstasies of women
on the high time, candles burn, then drown
ecstasies of women
bridegroom lost, the city watches down
hands like maps, mouths like alibis, the deck a fevered shrine
ecstasies of women
last night on borrowed time

[post-chorus]
lights spin, don’t go home
don’t go home
[verse 2]
he remembers summer laughing in a doorway made of smoke
a reckless line of fingertip, a vow he almost spoke
velvet gowns and torn receipts, the night held every sin
she slid a coin of midnight in the pocket of his skin
they crossed the threshold, friends in tow, the harbor took them in
high time rocked like cradle-l-st, the party opened thin
every face a little danger, every grin a stolen truth
he tasted reckless paradise — the soft undoing of his youth

[pre-chorus (variation)]
bottles braided with the bass, the moon writing on the sea
flashbacks roll like film reels — what was meant and what must be
summer’s laugh a compass, pointing past the vows and warm —
he feels the wedding tighten like a noose about the form

[chorus (variation)]
ecstasies of women
on the high time, laughter in the wake
ecstasies of women
promises collide and break
decklights flare, the harbor hums, the city keeps its crime
ecstasies of women
selling love for time to buy

[repeat pre-chorus softly]
bottles braided with the bass, the moon writing on the sea
flashbacks roll like film reels — what was meant and what must be
[chorus]
ecstasies of women
on the high time, heartbeats in the foam
ecstasies of women
harry chooses something other than home
hands unclench, the harbor breathes, the morning takes the line
ecstasies of women
last night paid, and he keeps time

[bridge]
“friends said i should tie the knot, a future neat and kind,” — he breathes
“but love is not a tidy thing; it’s ash and stars and thieves”
summer’s eyes like harbor lamps, she says, “if you must roam
take the night, take the flame, leave the vows — come find a home”
