Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
Late-blue window, rain like fingers on the glass,
Cigarette ash in the sink, your name won't pass.
Perfume on my collar—Chanel No.5 at the seam,
Tile cold beneath my toes—this room still keeps the dream.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
My chest ticks slow, a hush that won't obey,
I press my palm to glass, watch street lights replay.
A whisper in my ribs, prayer braided with mistake—
I crave the friction of us, even if I break. (mm)
[Chorus 1]
Shadows in velvet — hold me 'til I break. (hold me)
Shadows in velvet — don't let the pieces fall again. (mm)
Shadows in velvet — keep the edges soft and thin. (hold me)
[Verse 2]
You left a fork in the sink, ordinary and cruel,
Your laughter left a hollow I can't fill, won't pull.
A crooked Polaroid face-down on the nightstand,
Clock reads 2:17 AM — a map I can't unhand.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now my heartbeat is a bruise, your silence is a sound,
The hallway swells with echoes of the promises not found.
I used to hide my hunger; now I barter for the ache—
A traded pulse, a smoky coin I cannot break. (ah)
[Chorus 2]
Shadows in velvet — hold me 'til I break. (don't let go)
Shadows in velvet — keep me in the wake. (stay)
Stay with me through everything I take — (mm, mm) stay.
[Bridge]
I tore the letter up because I feared your pity,
Left the lamp on so the dark could learn my city.
I burned your postcard at 2:17 — kept the stamp for proof,
Confession in the static: I'm both the thief and the roof.
I loved the friction more than honest morning light,
Traded sunrise for midnight's hush, preferred the bite.
I kept your kindness hostage, then begged for what I taint—
This is the gamble: love or self-preserve, fold or faint.
[Chorus 3 — Climax]
Shadows in velvet — hold me 'til I break. (hold me, hold me)
Shadows in velvet — watch the pieces wake. (watch them rise)
If love is thunder, let it crack the slate,
I'll break, and from these shards I'll write the rules I make.
Hold me 'til I break — then don't hand me back to you. (no)
[Outro]
Velvet dark, I reach for one honest thing:
Your hand, or the silence—which one will bring spring?
Shadows in velvet — a vow I can't remake,
Hold me, hold me, hold me 'til I break. (mm, ah)
