[Intro] (soft pulsing synths, distant glitch) Mmm… everything glows… but nothing feels real… [Verse 1] We drive through the suburbs where the streetlights hum Plastic crowns on teenagers who think they’ve won I paint my lips in the rearview glow Pretend the silence isn’t swallowing me whole They say we’re golden, but we’re fading fast Trading tomorrows for a filtered past [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeats sync with the low-fi hum I’m queen of nothing, but I still run [Chorus] Velvet static in my veins tonight Electric silence, flickering light I’m a glitch in the perfect lie Living loud in a quiet sky Velvet static, hold me close Everybody’s watching, nobody knows [Verse 2] We wear our boredom like designer clothes Laughing at the camera while the real us decomposes Midnight texts from boys who’ll never stay I delete the feelings and hit play [Rap Verse - Elara Voss rapid-fire] Pop the glow, let the static take the wheel Neon bloodstream, tell me how it feel Crown slipping off while the bassline steals my name Suburban goddess playing royalty games Glitch in the matrix, pretty little flame Burn it down slow, never say her name I’m the echo they can’t delete Velvet static running through the streets [Bridge] (beat drops almost to nothing, intimate whisper) What if I stopped pretending… What if the quiet won? [Final Chorus - Explosive build] Velvet static in my veins tonight Electric silence, setting me on fire I’m the glitch they’ll never justify Living loud till the morning dies Velvet static, tear me open wide Everybody’s watching… but I’m still alive [Outro] (soft synths + fading glitch) Mmm… everything glows… But nothing feels real…
