Velvet Hands, Gunmetal Heart

Silk on the touch, steel in the grin, Every smile hides where the scars begin. You shake a hand, but you don’t let go, The velvet lies what the bullets know.

(Male) Velvet hands can pull you near, (Female) But the gunmetal heart won’t shed a tear. (Together) Every kiss can leave a mark, Velvet hands, gunmetal heart.

(Male) A glass of red, a whispered name, (Female) I see the fire beneath your shame. (Male) Your charm’s a blade, dressed up in gold, (Female) But your love runs cruel, your soul runs cold.

(Male) Velvet hands can pull you near, (Female) But the gunmetal heart won’t shed a tear. (Together) Every touch can break apart, Velvet hands, gunmetal heart.

(Female) Your promise tastes like smoke and steel, Your velvet touch is all I feel. (Male – low echo) The fire burns, the truth is dark… (Female) I still can’t trust that gunmetal heart.

(Male) Velvet hands can pull you near, (Female) But the gunmetal heart won’t shed a tear. (Together) Every kiss can leave a mark, Velvet hands, gunmetal heart.
