[Verse 1] They don’t see me 'Til the plan’s already done I don’t need the spotlight I just need the run. Sip my milk in silence While the world plays chess— I’m ten steps ahead In a velvet dress. [Chorus] Velvet claws, velvet laws I strike where the silence draws You can shout, I’ll never pause— I don't need applause. Velvet claws. [Verse 2] You chase thunder While I steal the spark You bark in daylight— I whisper in the dark. Every move is measured Like a cat on stone— You’ll think it was your idea By the time I’m gone. [Bridge] I’ve seen kings kneel, queens fall, Watched the loudest tumble in the hall. But I’m still here, tail curled tight— Every shadow is my birthright. [Chorus – repeat] Velvet claws, velvet laws I strike where the silence draws You can shout, I’ll never pause— I don't need applause. Velvet claws. [Outro – whispering over a fading sax] No footprints left. No trace at all. Just a faint scent of jasmine… And a feather’s fall.
