“Velvet Trouble” (Darker Cut)

upbeat R&B soul Sex-forward Americana Dark blues rock Electric guitar Saxophone

V5.5

There’s a warning in the way you move
Like a blade dressed up in grace
You don’t ask me what I’m willing to lose
You just look me in the face

Your shadow climbs into my chest
Like it’s always had a key
I don’t know if this is love at best
Or something unmaking me

You say, “careful what you let ignite”
But you strike the match just right

We make trouble like a drink too strong
Let it burn going down, know it won’t be long
Every touch like a loaded dare
Like you want me but don’t play fair
Oh, we move where the truth gets blurred
Where the line disappears in her
You say love, but it feels like war
And I keep coming back for more

There’s a darkness in your perfume now
Something sweet with a bitter end
Like a vow you don’t remember how
To keep, or to defend

You press close like you’re testing fate
Like you want me to cross that line
If this is just another mistake
Why does it feel divine?

You say, “don’t fall for what you see”
But you don’t let go of me

Is it hunger or surrender now?
Is it sin if it feels this clean?
When you pull me under somehow
I forget what I’ve been

Every second is edged in risk
Like we’re one breath from collapse
Every kiss got a twist to it
Like we’re not coming back

You wear danger like second skin
I wear need like it’s carved in bone
If I stop, do I lose you then, 
Or just face being alone?

There’s a mark where your fingers stayed
Like a truth I can’t erase
Call it wrong, but I never prayed
To be saved from this place
