Velvet Ashes

[Verse 1] Velvet ashes on my skin, Whispers fade, the night drifts in. Every ember turns to grey, Every touch just slips away. [Chorus] Velvet ashes, soft and slow, Fall like secrets we can’t show. Carried quiet in the rain, What is lost will not remain. [Verse 2] Fading candles, broken glass, Moments die but shadows last. Breath of smoke, a gentle sigh, Every ending learns to lie. [Chorus] Velvet ashes, soft and slow, Fall like secrets we can’t show. Carried quiet in the rain, What is lost will not remain. [Outro / Refrain] (almost whispered) Velvet ashes… On the floor. Velvet ashes… Nothing more.
