Velvet Knife

[Intro] Hush. Look closer. You wanted mystery. I learned control. [Verse 1] They taught me how to stand beneath the chandelier light, Smile like silver, never show the bite. Every room had eyes, every word had weight, So I learned to move before they named my fate. Quiet steps on marble floors, Pretty cage with golden doors. They called it grace, I called it survival, Read their lips like a private recital. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t ask why I keep distance, Darling, distance keeps me safe. If you reach for the reflection, You will never touch my face. [Chorus] I’m a velvet knife, soft when I cut, Silk on the skin, but it’s never enough. You see the shine, not the shadow inside, Love the mystery, fear what I hide. Velvet knife, close to your throat, Whisper my name like a dangerous note. 아름답게, I survive, Smile so sweet with a blade in my eyes. [Verse 2] Camera flash, hold the pose, Everybody thinks they know. Pretty words, pretty lies, Pretty hands reaching for what isn’t mine. I can feel the room change, 숨을 죽여, say my name. One slow glance, whole world bends, But tell me, who remains when the curtain ends? [Pre-Chorus] Don’t praise what you can purchase, Diamonds do not make me real. Say you noticed how I stayed there, Then perhaps I’ll let me feel. [Chorus] I’m a velvet knife, soft when I cut, Silk on the skin, but it’s never enough. You see the shine, not the shadow inside, Love the mystery, fear what I hide. Velvet knife, close to your throat, Whisper my name like a dangerous note. 아름답게, I survive, Smile so sweet with a blade in my eyes. [Bridge] I am not cold, I am careful. I am not cruel, I am trained. I am not yours for the taking, I am the lock and the chain. But say, “I see you,” quietly, No hunger in your tone. Then maybe all this velvet Was never meant to be alone. [Final Chorus] Velvet knife, soft when I cut, Silk on the skin, but it’s never enough. See past the shine, past the shadow inside, Hold the mystery, stay with what I hide. Velvet knife, close to your heart, Gentle enough just to leave a mark. 아름답게, I survive, Not just beauty— A blade with a life. [Outro] Hush. Look closer. I was never empty. Only hidden.
