Sin Vl - Lust (Velvet Cage)

[Verse 1 – Slow, smooth, poisonous] She walked like sin wore perfume Eyes like wounds dressed in costume Every smile a brand on skin Every breath said "Come back in" I tasted want behind her teeth Bit down deep and drank the heat But nothing filled the hollow ache Only fire dressed as grace [Pre-Chorus – Seductive rhythm, but strained] It felt like worship, It smelled like death A whispered prayer With a razor’s breath [Chorus – Clean vocals, layered with low harmonies] In this velvet cage I begged to burn Fed my soul To the twist and turn Every kiss Left me more alone But I kept digging To the bone I called it love But it was need I thought I owned her But she owned me [Verse 2 – More broken, more desperate] Silken hands that wrapped like chains Moans that sounded just like names I thought I held a holy flame But it was just the ache, renamed Now every touch feels like a brand Every curve—a grave I planned I see her shadow when I sleep She carved her name inside my teeth [Pre-Chorus – More cracked and raw] She sang like heaven But dragged like chains A soft goodbye With bloodstained veins [[Guitar Solo] – Slow, bending like desire that sours—wailing then choking] [Bridge – Whispered into a scream] I never loved her— I just needed something To hold To feed To feel To break To bleed She wasn’t a name— She was a mirror And I kissed my own disease Until I vanished [Breakdown – Filthy, crawling groove] Don’t say her name Don’t say mine We were never real Just the lie in the spine [Final Chorus – Same as before, but screamed through gritted teeth] In this velvet cage I begged to burn Fed my soul To the twist and turn Every kiss Left me more alone But I kept digging To the bone I called it love But it was need I thought I owned her But she owned me [Outro – Fading, whispered like breath on a neck] I kissed the flame And swallowed the ash And now I rot In velvet flash She’s gone… But I still ache For every lie I used to take
