"Velvet Ache" is a sultry, soul-drenched ballad that explores the haunting space between desire and devastation. With poetic lyricism and smoky, intimate vocals, the track invites listeners into a world where passion burns slow and deep—where silence speaks louder than touch, and pleasure is laced with ache. A hypnotic blend of raw vulnerability and sensual power, Velvet Ache lingers like a bruise kissed by candlelight.


Velvet Ache 

[Intro]

Mmmhhh... Mmmhhh... Mmmhhh...
Your breath on my skin is a velvet ache
Every word you don't say still makes me break

[Verse 1]
You're a sin I sip slow in the candlelight
Eyes like poison, sweet and ripe

[Pre-Chorus]
I trace the hunger in your sigh
Your silence pulls me open wide
I shouldn't stay, but here I lie
Drunk on what you never hide

[Chorus]
Touch me like you mean to leave a mark
Whisper like the dark's your favorite drug
I’m falling through the heat, the hush, the haze
Where shame and pleasure melt and blaze
You're my midnight, raw and wide awake—
My velvet ache

[Post-Chorus – whispered]
Mmmhhh... still burning, still shaking
Mmmhhh... no saving, no faking

[Verse 2]
Fingertips speak more than tongues allow
You're the sermon, I’m the vow
Wrapped in satin, drowned in moans
We build a heaven we can’t own

[Pre-Chorus]
Every glance a loaded gun
We're too far gone to come undone
You taste like danger in disguise
But I keep coming every time

[Chorus]
Touch me like you mean to leave a mark
Whisper like the dark's your favorite drug
I’m falling through the heat, the hush, the haze
Where shame and pleasure melt and blaze
You're my midnight, raw and wide awake—
My velvet ache

[Bridge]
Don’t promise me forever, just tonight
Burn me soft and slow, and get it right
In this room, we both confess
Lust as gospel, sin as bless

[Outro – slow fade]
Mmmhhh... Mmmhhh... Mmmhhh...
And when you leave, I won’t forget
The bruises shaped like silhouettes
Still aching where you used to stay—
Still velvet in the break
Mmmhhh...

Velvet Ache

[Verse]
Ridin' cross America on an Indian Chief
Blowin' in the wind
Smilin' ear to ear
The spirit's at peace
Born to win

[Verse]
Humble warrior
Don't try to keep him
You ain't gon' get near
The ghost in the machine
He knows no fear
Born to win

[Verse]
Tears are for cryin'
And hearts are for breakin'
And this life is for livin'
For takin' and givin'
And I was born to win

[Chorus]
Ohh
The wheels keep turnin'
And the night keeps burnin'
Runnin' from sin
Ohh
The world keeps turnin'
And the moon keeps burnin'
Born to win
Born to win

[Verse]
And now I am older
And it's just as I said
The lines on my face
I am what I am
I lie in the bed
Born to win

[Chorus]
Ohh
The wheels keep turnin'
And the night keeps burnin'
Runnin' from sin
Ohh
The world keeps turnin'
And the moon keeps burnin'
Born to win
Born to win

Life is for Livin’

This song is about a love that went horribly wrong and accepting fault of a situation.

A Little Too Late (Prod. by Cold Melody)

How Long!

This album, 'Velvet Echoes', delves into the bittersweet complexities of modern love, self-sabotage, and the relentless pursuit of authenticity, mirroring the raw, confessional style and thematic depth. 

Midnight Mascara

The darkness creeps in slowly,  
and seeps through the windows coldly.  
I toss another log into the fire’s call.  
The table and the dresser,  
All the things we used to treasure,  
Fade to fleeting shadows on the wall.  
 
Our dreams of yesterday  
Turn somber, slip away.  
Everything’s got its time, its rise, its fall.  
We planned to build our towers,  
But the wreckers took our hours.  
Now our dreams are just shadows on the wall.  
Now our dreams are just shadows on the wall.  
 
With organ chords now playing,  
The prelude to decaying—  
It’s fine, love’s a fire after all.  
From courtship’s sweet illusion  
To courtroom-like conclusions,  
Love becomes a shadow on the wall.  
 
Our dreams of yesterday  
Turn somber, slip away.  
Everything’s got its time, its rise, its fall.  
We planned to build our towers,  
But the wreckers took our hours.  
Now our dreams are just shadows on the wall.  
Now our dreams are just shadows on the wall.  
 
Draped in black or dressed in white,  
Through the convoy or the night,  
We wonder how much longer this will all endure.  
Living reckless, upside down,  
Till the casket comes around—  
Life itself is just a shadow on the wall.  
 
The darkness creeps in slowly,  
Seeping through the windows coldly.  
I toss another coal into the fire’s call.  
My hands and feet surrender,  
To maps they once remembered—  
Tracing fleeting shadows on the wall.  
The world itself’s a shadow on the wall,  
A flickering shadow on the wall.  
A flickering shadow on the wall.  

The Wreckers

A life painted without knowing, seasons adding their colours, faces leaving their shade, until the day the picture clears and you see that was never about what you built for yourself, but what you could pass on, a skill, a love, a legacy, a kindness  to someone else: it wasn’t status or wealth, but the gold you’d grown in others that mattered.
By the end, your life’s picture was a gift being crafted for another all along.

The great artist of this story was you all along, even if you don't see it at the time. :)

Lyrics: 

[Verse 1 the blank canvas]
First breath laid on a canvas bare,
Colours asleep in the waiting air.
Brush of the wind, stroke of the rain,
Lines drawn soft, then cut by pain.

[Verse 2 the shaping years]
Winter carves shadows, summer spills gold,
Edges get sharper as the story unfolds.
Faces and places blur in the frame,
Each leaving a shade, but none with a name.

[Chorus]
Every mark, every hue,
Every scene the seasons drew,
Every line you never knew,
Was painting the place that would open to you.

[Verse 3]
In the quiet, the picture clears,
A lifetime layered in joy and tears.
A hand steps back, the truth in view,
The art was never for keeping by you.

[Bridge]
It wasn’t the crown. It wasn’t the throne,
Not the gold you held, but the gold you’d grown.
A canvas passed, still wet with hue 
Signed at the end, but painted for you.

[Final Chorus]
Every mark, every hue,
Every scene the seasons drew,
Every line you never knew 
Was the gift you were shaping to give them too.

[Outro ]
And in the corner, small but true,
Picasso’s hand… looks a lot like you.

Verse 1:
In the quiet of the evening, when the stars begin to gleam,
Your memory comes creepin', like a soft, forgotten dream.
The way your touch would linger, on my skin so warm and true,
Now I'm left here wonderin', what I'd give to be with you.
Chorus:
Oh, baby, whispers in the night,
Callin' out your name under the moonlight.
Heart's been achin' since you walked away,
But in my soul, your love will always stay.
Whispers in the night, they're pullin' me through,
Tell me, darlin', do you hear them too?
Verse 2:
Rain tappin' on the window, like the tears I try to hide,
Every song on the radio reminds me of our ride.
We danced through stormy weather, held on tight through the pain,
But now the silence echoes, drivin' me insane.
Bridge 1:
And in the hush of midnight, when the world is fast asleep,
Those whispers in the night, they cut so deep.
Echoin' promises we made, under the same old sky,
Fadin' like shadows, but they never die.
Chorus:
Oh, baby, whispers in the night,
Callin' out your name under the moonlight.
Heart's been achin' since you walked away,
But in my soul, your love will always stay.
Whispers in the night, they're pullin' me through,
Tell me, darlin', do you hear them too?
Verse 3:
Mornin' light creeps in, but the darkness lingers on,
Your scent on the pillow, remindin' me you're gone.
We built a fire together, now it's ashes in the wind,
But I'll keep on searchin' for where our love begins again.
Bridge 2:
Through the veil of loneliness, where the heartaches reside,
Those whispers in the night, they're my only guide.
Pullin' me closer to the edge of what we were,
In the quiet moments, your voice is all I hear.
Chorus (Outro):
Oh, baby, whispers in the night,
Callin' out your name under the moonlight.
Heart's been achin' since you walked away,
But in my soul, your love will always stay.
Whispers in the night... they're pullin' me through,
Fade into the dawn, but I'll remember you.
