(Intro)
You taste like danger in the midnight rain
Like heaven wrapped in a little pain
And I know loving you is a fucked-up game
But I keep crawling back the same
(Verse 1)
Black nails tracing down my skin
Like you already know where I’ve been
Your eyes glow like a cigarette flame
Slow poison rushing through my veins
We dance alone in neon lights
Two sinners getting high on the night
Your leather jacket, my shaking hands
A beautiful fucking mess no one understands
(Pre-Chorus)
You pull me closer every time I break
And I let you ruin me anyway
(Chorus)
You’re my velvet venom
Sweetest kind of sinning
Every kiss leaves another scar
But I still crave all that you are
Dark love under city lights
Lost souls fucking up our lives
You make heartbreak feel divine
And I swear your darkness matches mine
(Verse 2)
Your voice drips slow like cheap red wine
Every damn word pulls me out my mind
I should run but I stay instead
Like your ghost lives inside my head
Everybody says you’ll destroy me
Hell, maybe that’s why I can’t leave
Cause your touch feels like a curse
And somehow I just want it worse
(Pre-Chorus)
You hold me like a loaded gun
Like loving me could come undone
(Chorus)
You’re my velvet venom
My beautiful addiction
Burning through my lonely veins
Turning pleasure into pain
Dark love under moonlit skies
Truth hidden behind your lies
You make chaos feel alive
Like I only breathe when we collide
(Bridge)
Maybe we were born too broken
Too wild for words left unspoken
But if this fire burns us down
At least we fucking owned this town
(Breakdown)
Hands cold, heartbeat racing
Your ghost is all I’m chasing
And even if this kills us slow
I’ll be damned if I let you go
(Final Chorus)
You’re my velvet venom
The ache I keep becoming
Every touch tears me apart
But you still live inside my heart
Dark love carved into my soul
The only home I’ve ever known
And if loving you is my fate
Then let me drown before I wake
(Outro)
Velvet venom on my lips tonight…
Your shadow holding me too tight…
And I swear I’d die a thousand times…
Just to fucking call you mine…
