Velvet Violence

You taste like danger in December. Cold lips, cigarette breath. You kiss me like a promise that's flirting hard With death. Your hands are holy sinners. Tracing bruises like they're art. You say you'll never hurt me With your fingers crossed apart. You pull me closer while pushing me away. Your love's a loaded weapon and I like the Way it stays. We're velvet violence, soft touch, Sharp teeth. You say forever, but you mean until I bleed. Red roses growing from the cracks in my chest. If loving you is ruin, then ruin me at Best. We're velvet violence, and I don't Wanna be safe. Your shadow sleeps beside me, but your truth stays Out at night. Oh, you swear I'm your religion, Then disappear from sight. I trace your name in lipstick on the Mirror of my mind. Every time I try to leave, you Say I'm one of a kind. You say I'm crazy when I cry, But you're the reason I don't feel alive. We're velvet violence, heaven dressed in black. You call it passion while you stab me in The back. Sweet devastation wrapped up in your Hands. If loving you is falling, Then bury me where I land. We're velvet violence, and I still let You stay. Maybe I love the chaos, maybe I love the Scars. Maybe I crave the darkness more than I Crave the stars. You say we're tragic poetry written in gasoline. Strike the match and hold me close, Watch how pretty we burn on the Scene. We're velvet violence, Lipstick on the blade. I know you're poison, But I like the taste. No angels coming, no one to intervene. If loving you is a nightmare, don't wake me From the dream. We're velvet violence, soft touch, Sharp teeth. You say forever, And I believe.
