VELVET KNIFE [INTRO - Ember, whispered] Soft touch... Sharp truth... You should've known better. [VERSE 1 - Ember] You liked the way I said your name Like nothing in the world could ever change You mistook my patience for surrender Didn't know I was taking notes forever I never raised my voice Never had to make a scene I let you show me everything You thought I'd never see Silk against the skin Steel beneath the lace You were looking for a heart I was studying your face [PRE-HOOK - Ember] You thought I wouldn't notice Every little lie But silence has a memory And so do I [HOOK - Ember] I'm a velvet knife Soft when you touch me Sharp when you cross me Velvet knife Sweet like a midnight kiss Cold when the moment calls for it Velvet... Velvet kniiiiife You won't feel the cut Till I'm already gone [VERSE 2 - Ember] You wanted something delicate Something you could bend But I learned how to disappear Before the breaking point begins No revenge No dramatic goodbye Just one day you'll wake up And wonder why The room feels colder The silence feels new That's what happens When I stop choosing you [PRE-HOOK - Ember] You thought I wouldn't notice Every little lie But silence has a memory And so do I [HOOK - Ember] I'm a velvet knife Soft when you touch me Sharp when you cross me Velvet knife Sweet like a midnight kiss Cold when the moment calls for it Velvet... Velvet kniiiiife You won't feel the cut Till I'm already gone [BRIDGE - Ember, low and controlled] I don't need to hurt you I just need to leave Sometimes the deepest cut Is losing access to me No warning... No scene... No looking back... [BREAK - Ember] Soft heart. Hard boundary. [FINAL HOOK - Ember, controlled power] I'm a velvet knife Soft when you touch me Sharp when you cross me Velvet knife Sweet like a midnight kiss Cold when the moment calls for it Velvet... Velvet kniiiiife You won't feel the cut Till I'm already gone [OUTRO - Ember, whispered] Silk on the handle... Steel in the truth.
