Velvet Pain

Intro – whispered / adlibs]

(yeah…)

(still hear you breathe…)

(fade in my sleep…)

⸻

I still feel your name on my tongue,

like a scar that never heals.

You left your voice in my lungs,

now I’m choking on what’s real.

(what’s real… real…)

Your shadow sleeps where I used to dream,

our bed remembers your ghost.

I tried to love you quietly,

but silence hurts the most.

⸻

And I know you hate the way I bleed,

but love was never built for me.

Every promise turned disease,

and I can’t find my peace.

⸻

’Cause the ghosts still breathe inside these sheets,

every night they talk like you and me.

You said forever but left halfway,

now forever just decays.

(decays… decays…)

⸻

I burned your scent into my clothes,

just to feel something close.

You taught me heaven with your pain,

and left me baptized in your shame.

(yeah… baptized…)

I gave you the parts I hide from the world,

you turned them into glass.

Now every time I touch my past,

I’m bleeding from your hands.

(your hands… your hands…)

⸻

(you never leave…)

(but you never stay…)

(I keep your voice…)

(when it fades away…)

(can you hear me…?)

⸻

The ghosts still breathe inside these sheets,

your perfume fights my sleep.

I tried to bury what we were,

but your love won’t die with me.

And if I could turn this pain to peace,

I’d still choose your tragedy.

’Cause the ghosts still breathe,

the ghosts still breathe… in me.

(in me… in me…)
