Velvet body count

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”

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

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

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”

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

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

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

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”

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

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

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

“Don’t fall in love with monsters, darling… unless you plan on staying dead.”
