Velvet on the Floor (v2)
[Verse 1] Black door Red mark on the frame You check IDs at the stairs Say my fake name Warm hands Take my coat, take my phone "House rules" written in lipstick On polished stone Leather on the walls Low lamps, velvet on the floor Collars lined like jewelry Keys by the door Your voice at my ear "Colors on your wrist mean yes" Green band burning on my skin I confess [Chorus] Show me where the quiet hurts Where the ropes hang in your room Let me be the one who learns How to beg for what you do Tie me to the echo of Every secret that they keep Make me feel the mark of love So deep, I can't sleep [Verse 2] Slow walk Down a hall, someone moans Silk blindfolds on a tray Laid out like stones I kneel On a cushion by your thigh Watch a paddle kiss a stranger Hear them cry Masks, metal, lace Safe words painted on a sign Bodies bent in perfect shapes Held in a line You trace my mouth With a gloved fingertip "Eyes down, hands behind" Heat in your grip [Chorus] Show me where the quiet hurts Where the ropes hang in your room Let me be the one who learns How to beg for what you do Tie me to the echo of Every secret that they keep Make me feel the mark of love So deep, I can't sleep [Bridge] [Beat drops to a murmur, whispered doubles close] You snap your fingers I crawl, I come You feed me rules I swallow each one (oh) You say "stay" I don't even breathe Just a willing outline You color beneath [Chorus] Show me where the quiet hurts Where the ropes hang in your room Let me be the one who learns How to beg for what you do Tie me to the echo of Every secret that they keep Make me wear the mark of us So deep, I can't sleep
