Velvet and Ink

[Intro]
[Verse]
I peel the gold leaf back
The binding starts to crack
Faded purple ink
Standing on the brink
She wrote his secret name
And played his dirty game
[Pre-Chorus]
Underneath the floor
Behind the cellar door
She wanted something more
The poison that he wore
[Chorus]
We are quietly obsessed
With the sins she confessed
In the dark of twenty-two
Doing things she shouldn't do
Love is a dangerous key
Lock the truth inside of me
[Post-Chorus]
Keep it in the dark
Just a single spark
Leave a heavy mark
Whispers in the park
[Break]
[Verse]
He owned the velvet room
Smelling of gin and doom
His wife was home fast asleep
Secrets they had to keep
Bleeding on the page
Locked inside a golden cage
[Pre-Chorus]
Underneath the floor
Behind the cellar door
She wanted something more
The poison that he wore
[Chorus]
We are quietly obsessed
With the sins she confessed
In the dark of twenty-two
Doing things she shouldn't do
Love is a dangerous key
Lock the truth inside of me
[Bridge]
I touch the ragged spine
Her history is mine
A loyalty so deep
A promise I will keep
I watch the shadows crawl
Secrets on the bedroom wall
[Chorus]
We are quietly obsessed
With the sins she confessed
In the dark of twenty-two
Doing things she shouldn't do
Love is a dangerous key
Lock the truth inside of me
[Outro]
