Velvet Amnesia

[Intro]
[Verse]
Basement neon hums in blue
Mixing chemicals for you
Lilies rot in crystal jars
Underneath the city stars
Cherry lipstick on the rim
Lighting up the room so dim
[Pre-Chorus]
Cold fingers hold a secret prize
I see the gold behind your eyes
I take the gems that you don't need
To plant a very different seed
[Chorus]
Drink the smoke and lose your name
Forget the fire, forget the flame
Your cruelest words are gone today
In the velvet dark they fade away
I wear the ghost of every lie
Watch your silver ego die
Glamour spells and stolen rings
Hear the song the silence sings
[Post-Chorus]
Taste the cherry, feel the cold
Do exactly what you're told
Sweet rot on a silver plate
I’m the master of your fate
[Verse]
High-rise kings with glass hearts
Tearing worlds and souls apart
I took the pearl from Mrs. Gray
To wash your bitter breath away
Now your tongue is soft and slow
With nowhere left for hate to go
[Pre-Chorus]
The organ loops a broken chord
I am bored of every lord
Shimmering in funeral lace
I’ll erase your hollow face
[Chorus]
Drink the smoke and lose your name
Forget the fire, forget the flame
Your cruelest words are gone today
In the velvet dark they fade away
I wear the ghost of every lie
Watch your silver ego die
Glamour spells and stolen rings
Hear the song the silence sings
[Bridge]
Glass bells ring inside my head
Dancing with the quiet dead
Fuzzed out bass and tape hiss
Seal it with a poisoned kiss
Every insult turns to dust
Buried in a layer of rust
[Breakdown]
Quiet now
Forget the how
Forget the why
Watch it die
[Chorus]
Drink the smoke and lose your name
Forget the fire, forget the flame
Your cruelest words are gone today
In the velvet dark they fade away
I wear the ghost of every lie
Watch your silver ego die
Glamour spells and stolen rings
Hear the song the silence sings
[Post-Chorus]
Taste the cherry, feel the cold
Do exactly what you're told
Sweet rot on a silver plate
I’m the master of your fate
[Outro]
