Velvet Cut

Midnight in my bathroom mirror

Lipstick like a crime scene line

Tracing all the things I fear

Across a mouth that says I'm fine

I dress my panic up in leather

Call it “just a different mood”

If I look sharp enough they'll never

Taste the poison in my truth (oh)

I'm a velvet cut

You don't see it till you're bleeding

Soft touch

Bad luck

Kiss you once and leave you needing

Sugar on the rim

Dark in the middle of the feeling

I'm a velvet cut

You won't heal from what I'm keeping

Laughing at the wrong time

Shaking

Hands inside my jacket sleeves

Every promise that I'm breaking

Glitter stuck to open seams

You say you like me damaged

Ruined

Say it like a compliment

But every time you trace my bruises

You just push the needle in (yeah)

I'm a velvet cut

You don't see it till you're bleeding

Soft touch

Bad luck

Kiss you once and leave you needing

Sugar on the rim

Dark in the middle of the feeling

I'm a velvet cut

You won't heal from what I'm keeping

Would you love me

If you saw the teeth behind the cherry smile?

Would you stay here

If you knew I've been counting exits all the while? (all the while)

I'm a velvet cut

You don't see it till you're bleeding

Soft touch

Bad luck

Kiss you once and leave you needing

Sugar on the rim

Dark in the middle of the feeling

I'm a velvet cut

You won't heal from what I'm keeping

Velvet

Velvet

Say my name like you're still breathing

Velvet cut

You won't heal from what I'm keeping
