Velvet Bite

Verse 1
Cigarette lips on the edge of my wine,
You taste temptation, but the sin is mine.
Don’t call it romance, it’s a darker game,
You’ll beg for the fire while you curse my name.

Pre-Chorus
I lean in slow, with a promise and a threat,
Every kiss I give is a debt you won’t forget.

Chorus
Baby, I got a velvet bite,
Sweet as sugar, sharp at night.
You want the pleasure, take the pain,
I’ll make you crawl, then call my name.

Verse 2
High heels clicking on your guilty floor,
You swear it’s the last time, then you want it more.
Honey, my mercy’s in short supply,
But I’ll feed you a thrill that your money can’t buy.

Pre-Chorus
I’m the fever, I’m the cure, I’m the crime,
You’ll lose your heaven just to taste my rhyme.

Chorus
Baby, I got a velvet bite,
Sweet as sugar, sharp at night.
You want the danger, play my hand,
I’m your weakness, understand.

Bridge
Oh, desire’s a razor, I keep it close,
Cut you deep while I kiss like a ghost.
You think you can handle, you think you can win,
But I’ll pull you under, then bite you again.

Chorus (extended)
Baby, I got a velvet bite,
Sweet as sugar, sharp at night.
Every pleasure comes with a price,
So beg me once, then beg me twice.

Velvet Bite

A gleam on glass, a promise lightly spoken,
The moments fall, a slow and silent crime.
I sit here on the edge of a day broken,
Lost from the fading traces of his time.
A glassy shrine within my frozen hand,
Where his reflection, mute and still, is held.
A strange and half-believéd, distant land,
That will not open, that remains unspelled.

Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
This echo in the chamber of the soul?
To lose and never have had all control?
Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
A phantom promise falling into dust,
A wilting leaf betrayed by autumn's rust.

The world spins on, indifferent and fast,
A play of faces I no longer see.
An angel, maybe, from a sky downcast,
Looks on and wonders what has captured me.
The irony in glances passing by,
They cannot see the chasm deep and wide.
They cannot grasp the reasons that I lie
In wait for something that has already died.

Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
This echo in the chamber of the soul?
To lose and never have had all control?
Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
A phantom promise falling into dust,
A wilting leaf betrayed by autumn's rust.

Perhaps the test was never him to find,
But just to be, the self I left behind.
The silence grows where promises were spoken,
A brand new world inside of me has woken.
The emptiness becomes an endless space,
And on its shore, I see another face.

Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
This echo in the chamber of the soul?
To lose and never have had all control?
Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
A phantom promise falling into dust,
A wilting leaf betrayed by autumn's rust.
Is it only waiting? Is it only waiting?
The phantom promise has returned to dust,
And on new ground, I find a different trust.

The screen goes dark. No echo. Not a trace.
I breathe me out. I breathe me in. This space.
