Black Velvet Chains

You move like smoke in a hollow room Every shadow bends to cradle you

Your touch is fire under ice A kiss so cold it splits my life

I tell myself I'll run tonight But your name keeps pulling like a tide

The edge is closer than I thought You're the poison I never fought

Black velvet chains, they hold me tight Wrapped in the dark, you steal the light

I taste the end on every breath But I can't let go of my beautiful death

Your voice is smoke, it fills my lungs A melody that comes undone

You speak of love like broken glass Each word a shard, each promise cracks

I know this road has no way back But I crave the wreck, the heart attack

Your hands are thorns, your lips are sin And I wear your scars like a second skin
