Wolves in the Velvet Room

[Verse 1] Ash on the dresser Wine stain on the rug You talk in backwards sentences I answer with a shrug Candle in a coffee cup Dripping on your hand You say “the future’s out the window” Like it’s all been planned [Chorus] I keep seeing wolves in the velvet room Teeth in the flowers Teeth in the bloom (oh) Your shadow’s humming in a borrowed tune But I still come back I still come back to you [Verse 2] Curtains stuck at half-mast Daylight Thin and weak Your face is fractured in the TV glass Static on your cheek You trace a labyrinth On the back of my wrist Ask if I’d follow you forever Into all of this [Chorus] I keep seeing wolves in the velvet room Teeth in the flowers Teeth in the bloom (hey) Your shadow’s humming in a borrowed tune But I still come back I still come back to you [Bridge] Maybe we’re just echoes In a hallway built of sky Every time we almost wake We choose another lie You say “hold your breath” Till the pictures bleed Count down slow from thirteen Give me what I need (woah) [Chorus] I keep seeing wolves in the velvet room Teeth in the flowers Teeth in the bloom Your shadow’s humming in a borrowed tune And I still come back I still come back to you [Outro] [Strings rise Low and distant Then closer] Violins climb like burning tape Cellos ache under our feet Brass blooms heavy in your chest Drums like doors on every street Choir in the ceiling Names we never knew Everything collapsing Still I walk I walk to you
