Velvet Toxicity

[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
You feel like poison
You feel like prayer
Both at once
In my lungs
[Verse 1]
Eyes half-open
Phone on 2%
Your name glowing
Like a cigarette end
You say, "Pull up"
I’m already outside
Heart on E
Still ready to drive
Tastes like comfort
Burns like bleach
You leave bruises
Where you preach
We talk forever
Say the same three things
"I hate you"
Then my phone starts to ring
[Chorus]
You’re my velvet toxicity
Soft touch, sharp teeth in me
Kiss me, then you cut so deep
I bleed just to fall back asleep
Feels like love and a wrecking ball
Hold me up just to watch me fall
I keep drowning in what you say
You’re the cure that keeps me sick this way
[Verse 2]
You post pictures
Captioned "doing fine"
I know every shadow
Hiding in that smile
You say, "I’m over it"
While you trace my scars
In the back of the Uber
Reading tarot from the stars
I got your hoodie
On the wrong inside
Smells like perfume
Mixed with cyanide
Every time I leave
You pull that thread
Wrap my body
Round your empty bed
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Why do your hands feel like home
And a warning sign
Why does your voice calm me down
Then cross the line
You say, "I’m bad for you, baby" (baby)
Laugh like it’s a game
But every time we’re breaking
We tattoo the same new pain
[Chorus]

rap, Hazy emo-trap with floaty melodic rap vocals, male vocals. Reverb-heavy keys, distant bell plucks, and a woozy pad bed over soft but knocky drums and deep sub. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, ad-libs drenched in delay; hook widens with stacked harmonies and a subtle distorted bass swell. Auto-tune glide on long notes, occasional filtered drops for late-night, numb-but-emotional energy., emo
