[Intro – whispered layered vocal fx + deep funk bassline]
Velvet skin, venom soul…
Love me soft, then swallow me whole.
(I let you in… now I can’t let go.)
⸻
[Verse 1 – dark rap flow, slow & haunting]
You were red wine, poured on a grave,
Dripped down my throat while I learned to behave.
Lace and leather, mixed like fire and frost,
Your kiss was a temple, but baby, I got lost.
You light candles just to watch ’em die,
Pull me in close with a tear in your eye.
Said love’s a war, but you were the knife,
Carved your name in the marrow of my life.
⸻
[Hook / Chorus – melodic, eerie funk with heavy 808s]
You’re velvet and venom, pain dressed in silk,
Every lie sweet like strawberry milk.
You broke me slow, with a smile so wide,
Now I dance with your ghost every night in my mind.
You kill like a lover, you kiss like a sin,
Pull me down deep — and I still let you in.
Venom & velvet, blood in the lace,
You left, but your shade still lives in my face.
⸻
[Verse 2 – emo rap, breathy delivery over moody funk riff]
You said I was too cold to hold,
But you lit the match then watched me fold.
Now I haunt our bed like a lullaby ghost,
Staring at the wall where your perfume still floats.
My phone stays dry but my heart don’t rest,
Your goodbye hit harder than a knife to the chest.
If love is a drug, then you’re uncut dope,
I OD’d slow on the threads of hope.
⸻
[Bridge – distorted guitar, reverb-soaked vocals]
You don’t love me, you just like control,
You don’t kiss lips, you just swallow souls.
I’d still crawl through the glass for a glimpse of your fire,
But every touch from you just feeds the pyre.
⸻
[Final Chorus – full beat, dark funk meets emo synths]
You’re velvet and venom, silk with a snare,
Said forever once, then vanished in air.
You broke me slow, with hands so sweet,
Now I sleep in your shadow, can’t find my feet.
You kill like a lover, you lie like a queen,
Buried our dreams in a church of gasoline.
Venom & velvet — I still taste the burn,
But I’d die in your arms if you ever return.
⸻
[Outro – soft synths, vinyl crackle, whispered voice]
All dressed in black, but you called it love.
Maybe it was…
Maybe it still is.
