Velvet Cabinet

[Intro]
[Verse]
Step into my quiet room
Where the velvet shadows bloom
Touch the glass eyes in the dark
Every specimen a spark
Faded rose on dusty fur
Everything is just a blur
[Pre-Chorus]
They never run away
They have no words to say
They keep their secret place
Staring into empty space
[Chorus]
I keep a rose
Under lock and key
The collection grows
Just for me to see
Don't look so cold
When you touch the wood
You do what you're told
Like you always should
[Post-Chorus]
Safe inside the glass
As the seasons pass
Heavy velvet mass
Underneath the brass
[Verse]
You walk slowly to the shelf
Looking closely at yourself
There is one empty space
Waiting for a handsome face
Lynx pelt on the wire frame
Whispering your secret name
[Pre-Chorus]
You see the empty row
Where the shadows start to grow
It will set you free
For all eternity
[Chorus]
I keep a rose
Under lock and key
The collection grows
Just for me to see
Don't look so cold
When you touch the wood
You do what you're told
Like you always should
[Bridge]
Do not cry
Do not ask me why
I will keep you clean
Like you've never been
No more breath
Beautiful in death
[Chorus]
I keep a rose
Under lock and key
The collection grows
Just for me to see
Don't look so cold
When you touch the wood
You do what you're told
Like you always should
[Post-Chorus]
Safe inside the glass
As the seasons pass
Heavy velvet mass
Underneath the brass
[Outro]
