Velvet sin

I swore I'd walk the narrow line,

Kept my heart locked up in time,

But your eyes, like a saxophone moan,

Played a rhythm I couldn’t disown.

You poured that drink, slow and smooth,

Spoke in shadows, made me move.

Now I’m dancing with a crooked grin—

Honey, that’s how the fall begins.

Velvet sin, you wear it well,

Sweet like heaven, hot like hell.

I tried to pray, but the music played—

Now I’m lost in the bed we made.

Every "no" I ever knew

Melted down when I touched you.

No redemption in your kiss—

But God, I’ve never felt like this...

Morning light won’t make it right,

But damn, you were worth the night.

Even saints fall now and then—

Guess I’ll never be pure again.

Velvet sin, you taste like wine,

Too much wrong to feel divine.

But I’d trade my soul to feel again...

That sweet, slow burn of velvet sin.
