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
