Verse 1 I wear a face the moon won’t trust, Snarl stitched into porcelain dust. Black suit, white lamb, arms entwined, Mercy dressed in a predator’s mind. Pre-Chorus I whisper lullabies with claws, Love rewritten in broken laws. Chorus Velvet teeth, velvet lies, I hold you close while silence cries. Gentle hands, savage breath, A kiss that tastes like quiet death. Velvet teeth, velvet grace, I wear devotion on my face. But underneath this tender skin, The hunger waits to pull you in. Verse 2 My shadow bends in gilded frames, A wolf baptized in holy names. I cradle peace, I mimic light, But I was born to haunt the night. Bridge You see the lamb, you miss the snare, I love you more than I should dare. The mask is velvet, stitched in gold, But underneath, the truth is cold. Final Chorus Velvet teeth, velvet lies, I hold you close while silence cries. Gentle hands, savage breath, A kiss that tastes like quiet death. Velvet teeth, velvet grace, I wear devotion on my face. But underneath this tender skin, The hunger waits to pull you in. ———————— Lyrics: ©svAI
