Velvet Rot

Silk on the seats, Gold in the glass. Your hand looks steady, But the wheel spins fast. Pearls on your throat, Bruises beneath. Smile for the camera. Then bite through the feast. House like a shrine, still feels like a tomb. Moon on the marble. Dead flowers in bloom. You keep it moving. I keep my face still. Every bright promise has a sharpened edge. Velvet rot. Velvet rot. You wear it so well. Velvet Velvet rot. Sweet as a spell. Take what you want. Then watch it fall apart. Velvet rot. Velvet rot. Eat in the heart. Champagne on ice, blood in the red. Cash in the drawer and a crack in the Head. Fast little kisses, slow little lies. Everything glittering 'til it goes blind. House like a shrine. Still feels like a tomb. Moon on the marble. Dead flowers in bloom. You keep it moving. I keep my face still. Every bright promise. Has a sharpened edge. Velvet rot. Rot. You wear it so well. Velvet Velvet rot. Sweet as a spell. Take what you want. Then watch it fall apart. Velvet rot. Velvet rot. Eat in the heart. Strip off the shine, What's left is the bruise. All of those winnings, still something to Lose. I saw the end in the bend of your Smile. Beautiful ruin Was waiting the whole while. Velvet rot. Velvet rot. You wear it so well. Velvet rot. Velvet rot. Sweet as a spell. Take what you want. Then watch it fall apart. Velvet rot. Velvet rot. Eat in the heart.
