[Intro] [Whispered, close mic] Come inside... The water's fine... [Soft harmony] Fine... [Verse 1] [Low, weary] She wore a smile like a loaded gun Kissed my cheek and blocked the sun Every promise tasted sweet Then disappeared beneath my feet The room was dark, the wine was cheap The kind of place that secrets keep I heard the warning in my head [Whispered backing vocal] Too late. Instead... [Pre-Chorus] [Building tension] I knew better I knew worse Every blessing Needs a curse [Harmony enters] And she's waiting... Still waiting... [Chorus] [Heavy, harmonized] Velvet grave Pull me down Wrap me up And drag me out Velvet grave Soft and slow The deeper in The less I know [Layered harmony] The less I know... [Break] [Sudden silence] ... [Whispered] Go on. [Verse 2] [Brooding, hypnotic] Every scar became a map Leading right back to the trap Every night I swore I'd leave Morning found me on my knees The mirror laughed behind my eyes Wearing my old disguise I watched myself become a ghost [Harmony] Just like most... [Pre-Chorus] [More intense] I hear my conscience Through the haze Getting buried Day by day [Harmony rising] Still she's waiting... Still waiting... [Chorus] [Bigger, emotional] Velvet grave Pull me down Wrap me up And drag me out Velvet grave Soft and slow The deeper in The less I know [Layered harmony] The less I know... [Bridge] [Half-time, haunting] Ohhhhh... [Harmony] Ohhhhh... [Whispered] Everybody needs something. [Slow build] Some need money... Some need love... Some need a hole... Deep enough... [Breakdown] [Crushing, sparse] I— Can't— Look— Away— [Instrumental hits between lines] [Guitar Solo] [Melodic, mournful, expressive] [Final Chorus] [Massive, desperate harmonies] Velvet grave Pull me down Wrap me up And drag me out Velvet grave Soft and slow The deeper in The less I know Velvet grave Hold me tight Till I disappear tonight [Outro] [Soft, fading harmonies] Come inside... The water's fine... [Whispered] You already did.
