Velvet After Dark

Low lights, skyline breathing slow

Your shadow where the neon glows

You say nothing… still I know

This night is somewhere we shouldn’t go

⸻

Rain writes secrets on the glass tonight

Your reflection caught in cobalt light

You lean back like the world’s your throne

Like temptation carved in monochrome

You don’t reach, you don’t need the chase

Just one glance and I feel the space

Between who I am and who I’d be

If I let your silence ruin me

⸻

You speak soft but the meaning’s loud

Like thunder hiding in a cloud

Every rule I ever made

Feels like paper in your shade

⸻

Velvet after dark, we move in quiet sin

Your eyes say everything your lips won’t let begin

City breathing slow beneath the skyline spark

Every saint gets dangerous in velvet after dark

Your voice drips silver in the midnight air

One word from you and I’d go anywhere

The moon don’t judge the hearts it leaves its mark

Every vow gets reckless in velvet after dark

⸻

Your accent curling through the room

Like smoke that writes its own perfume

Every syllable you drop

Feels like gravity won’t stop

I look composed in ivory lace

But sin is dancing in my veins

You watch me like you understand

How close I am to breaking plans

⸻

You don’t push, you let me fall

Like you knew it all along

Every breath you slowly take

Pulls the thread I shouldn’t break

⸻

Velvet after dark, we move in quiet sin

Your eyes say everything your lips won’t let begin

City breathing slow beneath the skyline spark

Every saint gets dangerous in velvet after dark

Your voice drips silver in the midnight air

One word from you and I’d go anywhere

The moon don’t judge the hearts it leaves its mark

Every vow gets reckless in velvet after dark

⸻

Say the word… I might forget my name

Say the word… and nothing stays the same

Your shadow crosses over mine

And suddenly the line’s not mine

You smile slow like you already won

Like the night’s just barely begun

And every promise I once kept

Is trembling on the edge you stepped

⸻

Velvet after dark, the city holds its breath

Your gaze a quiet promise dancing close to death

Every rule dissolving in your quiet spark

Every heart gets fearless in velvet after dark

Velvet after dark… I feel the danger start

One step closer and you’re writing on my heart

The moon is watching but it plays its part

Turning saints to sinners in velvet after dark

⸻

Rain still falling on the glass tonight

Your shadow fading from the light

We didn’t cross the line… not yet

But I can feel the silhouette

Of everything we’ll be

When the night forgets to stop.
