Velvet Riot

Intro – distorted guitar riff + drum fill]
(static hiss)
You wanted quiet?
Too bad — I’m electric.

(kick in heavy guitar + snare snap)

⸻

[Verse 1]
Red lights, mirror fight,
Took your rules, made ‘em mine tonight.
High heels, heartbreak, cheap champagne,
All your chaos runs through my veins.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not your muse, I’m the warning sign,
The girl you love when you’re outta line.
You wrote the script, I changed the plot,
You built the cage — I said, “Why not?”

⸻

[Chorus – explosion of guitar & sass]
Welcome to my velvet riot,
Soft to touch, but don’t deny it.
I’m the noise that breaks your peace,
The pretty storm you can’t release.
Velvet riot, oh, you’ll try it,
But no saint could ever buy it.
Sweet on top, burn beneath —
I’m your chaos, sugar teeth. 😈

⸻

[Verse 2]
Glitter scars and cherry smoke,
Every promise — every joke.
You want control, I want the stage,
I’ll write my name across your rage.

⸻

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You said “baby, stay in line,”
But wild looks good in overdrive.
Love me, fear me, it’s the same,
I’m velvet dressed in flame.

⸻

[Bridge – spoken/snarled over fuzz guitar]
Smile for the camera, baby,
Make it hurt pretty.
You call it drama —
I call it living.

(instrumental break: guitar + drum solo)

⸻

[Final Chorus – shout vocals + chant outro]
Velvet riot — feel the fire,
Every scar just takes me higher.
Soft rebellion, sweet and loud,
I’m the thunder in your crowd.
Velvet riot, I’m the sin you admire,
Play my name — it lights the wire.
Burn the script, forget the choir,
This is my empire.

(chant outro – crowd echo)
Velvet riot! Velvet riot!
Pretty lips, dirty riot!

(fade out with feedback & whispered “…you’ll remember my sound.”)
