The Velvet Bite

Verse 1

Midnight turns the mirror black

Tracing lines across my back

Hungry fingers in the air

(Feed the fire if you dare)

Something shifts inside the room

Ancient smoke and sweet perfume

Pre-Chorus

Tell me that you want it all

Listen to the shadows fall

Let me be the thing you trust

(Turning diamonds into dust)

Chorus

He talks low in the middle of the night

Everything he says sounds right

Velvet tongue and a silver bite

Taking over every light

He knows my name

He knows the game

(I am your shadow I am the deep)

(I am the secret that you keep)

Verse 2

Fever burning in my veins

Pulling at the golden chains

Liquid red and neon blue

(I will make a king of you)

Nothing comes without a cost

Trade the winning for the lost

Pre-Chorus

Tell me that you want it all

Listen to the shadows fall

Let me be the thing you trust

(Every heartbeat turns to rust)

Chorus

He talks low in the middle of the night

Everything he says sounds right

Velvet tongue and a silver bite

Taking over every light

He knows my name

He knows the game

(I am your shadow I am the deep)

(I am the secret that you keep)

Bridge

Softly

Darkly

Surely

Come and take it

Try to break it

Everything you love is mine

Cross the border finish the line

Chorus

He talks low in the middle of the night

Everything he says sounds right

Velvet tongue and a silver bite

Taking over every light

He knows my name

He knows the game

(I am your shadow I am the deep)

(I am the secret that you keep)

Post-Chorus

Don't let go

Sink down low

Oh-oh-oh

Don't let go

(Your soul is mine)

(All for me)
