[Verse 1]
You trace my wrists
Red half-moons bloom
Say “be a good girl”
And I make you the truth
Black silk on the floor
My throat learns your name
You tighten the answer
Till I ache for the pain
[Chorus]
Velvet bruises
Blooming where you kissed too hard
Every mark a promise
Every promise leaves a scar
Tie me to this hunger
Let the dark pull us apart
Velvet bruises
Are the map back to your heart
[Verse 2]
You watch me kneel
Slow like a prayer
My halo is crooked
You straighten it there
Teeth on my shoulder
Your hand in my hair
You ask who I belong to
I choke on “I swear”
[Chorus]
Velvet bruises
Blooming where you kissed too hard
Every mark a promise
Every promise leaves a scar
Tie me to this hunger
Let the dark pull us apart
Velvet bruises
Are the map back to your heart
[Bridge]
I flinch
Then I fall
Into every shattered rule
You pull
I dissolve
Glad to be your broken jewel
Say my name
Say it slow
I am yours and you still know
One more pull
Let it show
How far this fever goes
[Chorus]
Velvet bruises
Blooming where you kissed too hard
Every mark a promise
Every promise leaves a scar
Tie me to this hunger
Till I can’t tell us apart
Velvet bruises
Spell your name across my heart
