Velvet Gravity

[Intro – quiet, deliberate] You did not ask me to be lighter. You… adjusted to the weight. [Verse 1] I am not easy to hold Edges honed, intentions cold Every word I let you hear Passed through silence, cut and clear I have lived in sharpened space Order stitched to keep me safe Measured breaths and steady hands Nothing left to chance or chance And then—you entered without sound Didn’t turn my system down Didn’t reach to rearrange Just… stood still and let me stay strange [Pre-Chorus] You did not rush the quiet out Did not question what it’s about No demand for something more You learned the language of my war [Chorus] You are the gravity I don’t resist The quiet I did not know I missed Not pulling me apart to fit— Just letting me exist in it A place where I can set things down Without the fear they’ll turn around You are not light—you do not blind You are the dark that feels… aligned [Verse 2] I counted everything you did Every glance, each word you hid Waiting for the fracture point For warmth to prove a sharper joint But you—consistent as the tide Never forced your way inside Left the door within my reach Never claimed what I don’t teach And when my shadows stretched too far You did not flinch at what they are Just traced their shape along the floor As if you’d seen them all before [Pre-Chorus] No performance, no disguise No need to soften, no surprise You met me where I choose to be And called that place enough for me [Chorus] You are the gravity I don’t resist The quiet I did not know I missed Not pulling me apart to fit— Just letting me exist in it A place where I can set things down Without the fear they’ll turn around You are not light—you do not blind You are the dark that feels… aligned [Bridge – hushed, intimate] I did not know I could… rest here Without rehearsing what to fear Without arranging every breath To bargain gently with regret You are not fragile. That is key. You do not break beneath… me [Final Chorus – fuller, still restrained] You are the gravity I chose to trust The stillness that does not disrupt Not asking me to be undone— Just staying when the dark has won A place where silence is not threat Where nothing needs to be reset You are not light—I see you true You are the dark that lets me… bloom [Outro – almost whispered] …a place to land. Not to fall.
