Velvet Fire

Verse 1

Red light dripping down the hallway walls

Silk on my skin like a warning call

Glass in my hand, but it’s almost gone

Lipstick stain where your name was drawn

Mirror talks but I don’t reply

Half of me burns, half stays ice

Heaven’s gate with a blacklist line

Guess I crossed it one too many times

Pre-Chorus

You said “angel,” but you loved the sin

Now I’m dancing where the devils live

Chorus

I’m velvet fire, soft but I sting

Cherry wine kisses, dangerous things

You lit the match, now watch me glow

I don’t need you to lose control

I’m heaven’s liar, dressed in gold

Sweet on the outside, heart gone cold

You tried to keep me, I let you go

Now I’m the flame you’ll never hold

Verse 2

High heels echo down empty streets

City hums but it don’t know me

Neon tears in a blacked-out sky

I look better when I don’t try

You want soft, you want sweet, you want clean

But I’m smoke in a diamond dream

Every scar got a story bite

Every wrong made me feel alive

Pre-Chorus

You said “forever,” I heard pretend

Now I’m closer to the edge again

Chorus

I’m velvet fire, soft but I sting

Cherry wine kisses, dangerous things

You lit the match, now watch me glow

I don’t need you to lose control

I’m heaven’s liar, dressed in gold

Sweet on the outside, heart gone cold

You tried to keep me, I let you go

Now I’m the flame you’ll never hold

Bridge

Candles melt like promises do

Witching hour, I outgrew you

Ashes fall but I rise in style

Stayed too long, now I’m running wild

Red smoke dancing in my lungs

Say my name like a loaded gun

If you loved me, you’d let me burn

But you only loved your turn

Final Chorus (bigger)

I’m velvet fire, watch me blaze

Turn your love into a haze

You had me once, you lost your shot

Now I’m everything you’re not

Heaven’s liar, crown tilted slow

Walking flames in a halo glow

You tried to keep me, I let you go

Now I’m the fire you’ll always know
