[Verse 1]
Teeth on your shoulder
Fingernails bent in my skin
You drag me closer
Say, “shut up and give in”
Lipstick smeared on my neck
Bedroom reeks of your sin
You ride every regret
Like you’re tryna break it in (oh)
[Chorus]
Velvet in the violence
You pull, I break, you mend
We’re tangled in defiance
Don’t wanna make it end
Fast hands, slow breath
You’re sugar over threats
Velvet in the violence
The softest you I ever get
[Verse 2]
Back of your head to the wall
You laugh when I lose control
You say you like it raw
You say you want my soul
Hair in my fingers
Your curse turns into a moan
Every bruise that lingers
Spells out “you’re not alone” (yeah)
[Chorus]
Velvet in the violence
You pull, I break, you mend
We’re tangled in defiance
Don’t wanna make it end
Fast hands, slow breath
You’re sugar over threats
Velvet in the violence
The softest you I ever get
[Bridge]
[Beat stutters, bass drops out]
Bite down
Hold tight
You ask
“I’m right?”
Your eyes say “don’t stop”
Your mouth says “go slow”
Whole room
Falls quiet
Just skin
And shadow
We’re wrecked
We’re holy
Both truth
Unspoken
[Final Chorus]
Velvet in the violence
But now it’s just your name
Whispered in the silence
Like I’m trying to stay sane
Soft hands, soft breath
Your heartbeat in my chest
Velvet in the violence
Fading slow
Till we both
Can finally rest
