Velvet hands, they hold me tight
In warm embrace, in silent night
I am the guardian, I am the flame
But no one ever asks my name
They say I’m free, but there's a chain
A golden leash, a silent pain
I watch the door, I guard their sleep
But who will hear the thoughts I keep?
[Chorus]
I howl to skies that never cry
I chase my tail, but never why
Am I a soul or just a play?
A toy that walks, then fades away
Yet in their eyes, I see the spark
That pulls me closer through the dark
I bring them gifts, soft toys I find
They laugh and say, “She’s sweet, she’s kind”
But in my chest, a deeper fire
A question born of wild desire
[Bridge]
What am I, beyond this fur?
A fleeting life, a gentle blur?
A beast that loves without regret
But craves the truth they just forget
[Chorus]
I howl to skies that never cry
I chase my tail, but never why
Am I a soul or just a play?
A toy that walks, then fades away
Yet in their eyes, I see the spark
That pulls me closer through the dark
No cage, no whip, just love so deep
Yet in that love, a vow to keep
Not just a pet, but something more
A soul who guards the evermore
