Velvet Blackout

Chorus

Velvet curtains closing fast

Some secrets just don’t last

Bodies bare beneath the lights

Whispers weaving through the night

Post-Chorus

Oooh oooh

Laughter turns sly

Oooh oooh

No one knows why

Verse 2

Shadows dance on quiet skin

Names change as new guests come in

No footprints left on the marble floor

Mystery lingers wanting more

Pre-Chorus

Glances flicker, questions hide

Someone here is picking sides

Chorus

Velvet curtains closing fast

Some secrets just don’t last

Bodies bare beneath the lights

Whispers weaving through the night

Post-Chorus

Oooh oooh

Laughter turns sly

Oooh oooh

No one knows why

Bridge

Polaroids scattered on the tiles

Truth grins through crooked smiles

Missing keys and lipstick stains

We play along but no one explains

Verse 3

Someone’s robe left draped on the door

Rumors slither, tickling the floor

Glitter falls and covers the tracks

Shifting faces never look back

Chorus

Velvet curtains closing fast

Some secrets just don’t last

Bodies bare beneath the lights

Whispers weaving through the night

Post-Chorus

Oooh oooh

Still they deny

Oooh oooh

Look in their eyes

Outro

Broken bracelets left behind

Silent deals that halt in time

Twisted laughter as the clock unwinds

Spotlight flickers, draws the line

Curtains fall without a sign

New disguises every night

Shadowed tales nobody owns

We all leave wearing borrowed thrones

Fade away, don't say goodbye

Rooms full of secrets, spinning lies

Midnight’s hush, electric hum

Still running from what we've become

Coda

Glossy lips and tangled hair

Trading secrets in the air

Fingers smeared with silver paint

Masks in place but hearts grown faint

Soft receding echo calls

Heels click down the gilded halls

Just a shadow in the frame

But tomorrow we'll play the game

Hands on glass, a final sigh

Trading glances, wondering why

A ghost of laughter, out the door

These velvet nights forevermore

Oh-oh, velvet nights forevermore

Yeah, velvet nights forevermore
