[Intro] (Instrumental)

[Verse 1]
Shadows stretch across the room,
Whispers hum a mournful tune.
The clock hands drag, they’re heavy still,
Time bends to the night’s quiet will.

[Pre-chorus]
Falling deeper into the haze,
Memories dance in a smoky gaze.

[Chorus]
In these velvet hours, we drift away,
Caught between the night and the break of day.
Echoes linger, soft and slow,
In the velvet hours, where shadows grow.

[Verse 2]
Candles flicker, their light subdued,
A fragile calm in solitude.
The world outside fades to grey,
Inside the silence, we choose to stay.

[Pre-chorus]
Breathing in the weight of the air,
Every moment hangs, fragile and rare.

[Chorus]
In these velvet hours, we drift away,
Caught between the night and the break of day.
Echoes linger, soft and slow,
In the velvet hours, where shadows grow.

[Bridge] (Guitar Solo)
(Instrumental, melancholic and yearning)

[Verse 3]
Dreams dissolve as dawn draws near,
The fragile glow of what we hold dear.
But in this fleeting, quiet refrain,
The velvet hours will call again.

[Pre-chorus]
Falling deeper into the haze,
Memories dance in a smoky gaze.

[Chorus]
In these velvet hours, we drift away,
Caught between the night and the break of day.
Echoes linger, soft and slow,
In the velvet hours, where shadows grow.

[Ending] (Instrumental)
