Velvet Black

Chorus

I wear my mask, velvet black, I never let it slip

Cool on my tongue, honey drip, I still won’t make a wish

Cold on the marble bar, I laugh, pretend I win

Just a girl playing hard to get, lost deep in sin

Post-Chorus

Oh, you don’t know

Oh, you don’t know

Sweet velvet shadows

Oh, you don’t know

Verse 2

City’s melting, steam and wine, your eyes won’t break my code

Names on your cigarette, smudge the red but I won’t let it show

My fingers trace the rim of the glass I pretend I never hold

You keep chasing, I keep running, truth’s getting old

Pre-Chorus

I see you looking through every defense I’ve built

Frozen, I’m smiling, hiding every drop of guilt

Chorus

I wear my mask, velvet black, I never let it slip

Cool on my tongue, honey drip, I still won’t make a wish

Cold on the marble bar, I laugh, pretend I win

Just a girl playing hard to get, lost deep in sin

Post-Chorus

Oh, you don’t know

Oh, you don’t know

Sweet velvet shadows

Oh, you don’t know

Bridge

Red neon dripping down the rain, secrets stain my skin

Your hands a forbidden prayer, I won’t let you in

Stiletto tapping, heart attack, slow burn beneath my grin

You’re the dare I never take, but I crave the sin

Outro

Curtains fall in slow parade, I vanish where dreams begin

Ghost of a smile, lips unmade, night paints my every sin

Playing hard, I leave no trace, shadows swallow my spin

Just a girl who loves the game, never lets it win
