Ventrue (Revamped)

[Verse 1] You came in velvet Soft as a lie Red on your mouth Cold in your eyes I gave you everything You called it need You took my pulse And said it pleased me I wore your shadow Like it was mine Let you make hunger Look divine You didn’t love me Don’t pretend You loved the way I let you in [Pre-Chorus] Monsters don’t always Show their teeth Sometimes they say They’re saving me [Chorus] Ventrue You drank me dry Called it love Called it mine Ventrue You built your throne On every part I didn’t own You cursed my name When I would not crawl But I got out After all Ventrue I’m not yours Anymore [Verse 2] You made a house Out of my fear Kept every door Almost near Your mercy came With something owed Your hands were soft Your heart was closed I used to think That made you deep Some pretty dark I had to keep But all your night Was just a room And I was not Born for you [Pre-Chorus] You called me cruel For leaving clean I think you liked me On my knees [Chorus] Ventrue You drank me dry Called it love Called it mine Ventrue You built your throne On every part I didn’t own You cursed my name When I would not crawl But I got out After all Ventrue I’m not yours Anymore [Bridge] Call me monster If you need Call me cold Call me mean Paint me black Paint me wrong I won’t stay To prove you wrong If I have fangs They’re mine to keep If I’m the nightmare You can’t sleep [Final Chorus] Ventrue You drank me dry But I survived Ventrue You lost your grip When I came alive You cursed my name I let it bloom Left you hungry In the room Ventrue I’m not yours Anymore [Outro] Your name is smoke Your mouth is blue I came back Not new Just not you
