[Verse 1]
Came in like a rumor through the motel haze
Leather boots and a butcher’s blade
Cherry lips on a cigarette flame
And a whisper that sounds a bit like your name
Cruisin’ down the lane like it’s prom night doom
Window cracked, hummin’ that Exorcist tune
She said, “You look like sin with a switchblade grin”
And I said, “Babe, you don’t know where I’ve been”
[Pre-Chorus]
She wants romance, I give her rope
Twisted tales under telescopes
TV static, blood on the screen
I make death look like a fever dream
[Chorus]
I got a velvet body count, stitched in charm
Every kiss ends in an alarm
Like Michael with the poker face
Or Jason in a lover’s embrace
So turn the lights low, don’t make a sound
I’m the sweetest ghost that you ever found
[Verse 2]
You move like prey with a runway pose
But I see right through those Friday clothes
Got a blade named “Love” and a smile like Cain
And I only come out when it’s startin’ to rain
Yeah, the mirror’s cracked where I left my grin
Wore Freddy’s claws just to scratch my sins
You said “darlin’, this feels like a dream”
I said “it is—just not the kind that redeems”
[Pre-Chorus]
She wants forever, I give her fate
Wrapped in chains at heaven’s gate
Bit of leather, splash of wine
And a chalk outline that curves just fine
[Chorus]
I got a velvet body count, stitched in charm
Every kiss ends in an alarm
Like Norman with a mother’s touch
Or Ghostface when the love’s too much
So count to ten, then spin around
I’m the sweetest ghost that you ever found
[Bridge]
Midnight’s muse in a death cab ride
Got Polaroids and cyanide
Write sonnets in the basement walls
And leave ‘em framed in shopping malls
[Breakdown]
She said “are you a devil or just misread?”
I said “depends how you look at the dead”
And she smiled like a loaded trap
Said “baby, I could get used to that”
[Final Chorus]
I got a velvet body count, stitched in charm
Every kiss ends in an alarm
Like Leatherface with a rose bouquet
Or Chucky on Valentine’s Day
So dim the lights and let it resound—
I’m the sweetest ghost that you ever found
[Outro]
Lights flicker on, but I’m already gone
Just a silhouette in your favorite song [Extended Verse]
I left perfume and fingerprints in the frost
You’ll find the rose where your sanity got lost
Bit of lipstick on a ransom note
Says, “Kisses kill—xoxo.”
The sirens sing but they’re always late
I’m long gone down that twistin’ interstate
With a mixtape full of requiems
And a list of names I won’t forget
[Final Refrain / Outro - Slow & Slinky]
Velvet body count, hearts in tow
Dancin’ with shadows you’ll never know
Every scream a love song, soft and true
And every ghost I made still looks like you
[Fade Out Spoken Line over fading chords]
“Don’t fall in love with monsters, darling… unless you plan on staying dead.”
