Velvet Poison

Verse 1
A gentle smile, a secret, bought and sold.
A stolen taste of wine, so brave and bold.
Each promise hides a dark and sorrowful knell.
A thrilling end your senses know so well.

Pre-Chorus
Now breathe the jasmine, taste the coming dread.
You dance on edges, sharp as shattered glass.

Chorus
Oh, I'm your velvet poison, sweetly you will die.
The honey on the razor, sharp within your eyes.
Yeah, I'm your velvet poison, faithful to the end.
The lover and the killer you can't comprehend.
This velvet poison, fever, wish, and aching prayer.
Your beautiful, hopeless poison, past repair.

Verse 2
My tender touch is like the finest silk.
A cooling balm for every pain and guilt.
Beneath it glides a shadow of a shark.
To steal your breath and stop your beating heart.

Pre-Chorus
Now breathe the jasmine, taste the coming dread.
You dance on edges, sharp as shattered glass.

Chorus
Oh, I'm your velvet poison, sweetly you will die.
The honey on the razor, sharp within your eyes.
Yeah, I'm your velvet poison, faithful to the end.
The lover and the killer you can't comprehend.
This velvet poison, fever, wish, and aching prayer.
Your beautiful, hopeless poison, past repair.

Bridge
I am the perfect dream, your gilded cage.
This velvet warmth becomes your final stage.
I'll drink your life and I will call it grace.
You'll kiss the darkness on my frozen face.

Final Chorus
I AM your velvet poison! Sweetly you will die…
The honey on the razor, a cold and silent lie…
Your only velvet poison, to the bitter end…
Your lover and destroyer you can't comprehend…
Velvet poison in your soul, no prayer, no despair…
No cure.
No light.
Nowhere.
