[Verse 1]
I used to bloom in the morning light,
Now I fade when the stars ignite.
Petals fall from the love I gave,
Soft and quiet, I dig my grave.
I wear my smile like a dying rose,
Perfume sweet, but the poison shows.
Every promise starts to fray,
Another piece of me slips away.
[Pre-Chorus]
And underneath the porcelain skin,
A darker rhythm pulls me in.
The saint I was begins to drown,
As shadows wear my golden crown.
[Chorus]
Velvet decay — I’m falling slow,
The beauty fades, but no one knows.
My halo burns, my sins remain,
A gentle death inside the pain.
Velvet decay — I can’t be saved,
The good in me begins to fade.
I’m whispering my last goodbye,
To the girl I used to hide behind.
[Verse 2]
The mirror cracks, it starts to weep,
For the light I failed to keep.
Every tear turns black and cold,
As mercy turns to something bold.
The bad in me begins to bloom,
Like roses in an empty tomb.
The devil hums a soft ballet,
And I begin to dance away.
[Pre-Chorus]
And every breath feels bittersweet,
As darkness crawls beneath my feet.
I kiss the flame, I taste the lie,
Becoming her — the other side.
[Chorus]
Velvet decay — I’m falling slow,
The beauty fades, but no one knows.
My halo burns, my sins remain,
A gentle death inside the pain.
Velvet decay — I can’t be saved,
The good in me begins to fade.
I’m whispering my last goodbye,
To the girl I used to hide behind.
[Bridge]
Silk and blood, the colors blend,
The light is dying without end.
I breathe her in — she’s taking form,
The calm before the coming storm.
[Final Chorus]
Velvet decay — my heart’s still pure,
But the shadows crave a cure.
I’m dressed in sin, I wear it proud,
A fading prayer beneath the shroud.
Velvet decay — my soul’s unmade,
A rose reborn in shades of grey.
If heaven calls, I’ll turn away…
I’ve learned to love my velvet decay.
