Lyrics <3

Mm…
Pour the night into a crystal glass, darling…
Let it shimmer.

I dance where the lamplight goes honey-gold,
Where the trumpets sigh and the secrets get sold,
Every eye in the room thinks they know my name,
But I’ve been wearin’ a sweeter, quieter flame.

Silk on my shoulders, a lie on my tongue,
I laugh like a girl who’s forever young,
But there’s a shadow that follows me home each night,
Tall as a promise, dressed sharp as a knife.

Oh I smile for the boys with their roses and gin,
But none of them know where my trouble’s been.

I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
When the band plays low and the room feels warm,
You think I’m lonely, you think I’m free,
But there’s a wicked kind of heaven waitin’ for me.
Yeah, I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
And honey, it fits just fine.

They say I’m a heart that don’t ever stay,
Just another pretty thing driftin’ away,
I let them believe I’m made of air,
But someone back home knows every prayer.
He don’t come ‘round when the spotlights glow,
He likes his love where the shadows go,
With a crooked grin and a voice so deep,
It could wake the dead or put ‘em to sleep.

Oh I sip my wine and I play my role,
But there’s a fire got a hold of my soul.

I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
When the blue notes cry and the crowd’s disarmed,
You think I’m broken, you think I roam,
But there’s a dark little throne that I call my home.
Yeah, I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
And darling, I ain’t alone.

If you hear laughter in the late-night rain,
And it sounds too sweet to be free of pain,
That’s just me with a dangerous man,
Holdin’ my heart in the palm of his hand.
He don’t wear halos, he don’t need wings,
He buys me dreams and cursed little things,
And I’d sell my soul for the way he calls my name…
But funny thing, it was his just the same.

So go on and think I’m a lonely tune,
Just another girl croonin’ to the moon,
Let the rumors dance, let the whispers play,
They don’t know who’s waitin’ at the end of my day.

‘Cause I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
When the house goes dark and the night’s disarmed,
You hear a siren, you see a flame,
But I’m wrapped in a love that don’t play fair games.
Yeah, I’ve got velvet on the devil’s arm,
And baby… that devil’s mine.

Mm…
Some girls go home to a prayer and a psalm…
I go home on the devil’s arm.

Velvet on the Devil’s Arm

Lyrics <3

Low hum in my chest like a coming storm
Every mirror cracks when I’m reborn
Static in my blood, but I’m wide awake
I don’t bend easy, I don’t break

I grew up sideways in a straight-line world
They wanted paper dolls, I was fire and whirl
Every room told me to tone it down
But my pulse kept shaking the hollowed-out ground

They said “be softer, be quieter, be small”
But I was never built to fit their walls
I wore every stare like a scar on my skin
Still walked in loud like I was meant to win

I tried to fold myself into something neat
But I bled through every pretty-little sheet
Now I’m done apologizing for my flame
I was never meant to play their game

I don’t belong to your pretty parade
I don’t fit in the shapes you made
I stand alone and I’m not afraid
I found my peace in the mess I made

Let them whisper, let them stare
I built a kingdom out of my despair
I don’t need a throne or a crown to see
I finally feel at home in me

I walked through hell in borrowed skin
Trying to be who I’ve never been
Smiled through knives, kept my head low
But my soul was screaming, you already know

Now I wear my chaos like holy art
Every broken piece is a beating heart
I stopped chasing love in a stranger’s eyes
When I realized I was my own sunrise

They tried to tell me who I should be
But they never saw what was burning in me
Now I rise like a wildfire free
And I don’t need their permission to breathe

I don’t belong to your pretty parade
I don’t fit in the shapes you made
I stand alone and I’m not afraid
I found my peace in the mess I made

Let them whisper, let them stare
I built a kingdom out of my despair
I don’t need a throne or a crown to see
I finally feel at home in me

I was never broken, just differently tuned
A wild-heart choir in a silent room
They called me wrong, but I call it strong
I’ve been myself all along

I took my fear and I made it art
Turned every wound into armor and heart
I don’t need saving, I don’t need a guide
I learned how to stand on my own inside

I am not your echo
I am not your clone
I am every scream I’ve ever known
I am the fire
I am the fall
I am the answer to my own call

I don’t belong to your pretty parade
I don’t fit in the shapes you made
I stand alone and I’m not afraid
I found my peace in the mess I made

Let them doubt me, let them try
I built my wings out of every goodbye
I don’t need the world to agree
I finally feel at home in me

So here I stand, loud and true
No more hiding what I am, who I am, who I choose
I was never lost, just finding my way
And I found my peace when I stopped trying to stay
in their frame.
