(Verse 1)
The room grows quiet when you walk the wire
A silhouette against the neon light
A sip of whiskey one deliberate move
You don't just break the silence
you hold it tight
A conversation happens with your eyes
A secret language spoken in a glance
A slight arch of the brow a silent dare
You put the whole world in a tender trance
(Chorus)
Oh the velvet trap of your smile
A promise laced with danger all the while
It’s not the shape
it’s the curve of your art
The way you play with every beating heart That hypnotic
slow-burn devastating style…Worth ruinin'your soul for a little while
(Verse 2)
You wear the night like your favorite dress
A shadow dance of elegance and sin
A laugh that holds a universe of"maybe"
A game I'm desperate desperate to win
No sudden moves
just calculated grace
A masterpiece of subtle implication
The slightest pout a look that could undo
My own my only sweetest damnation
(Chorus)
Oh the velvet trap of your smile
A promise laced with danger all the while It’s not the shape
it’s the curve of your art
The way you play with every beating heart That hypnotic
slow-burn devastating style…Worth ruinin'your soul for a little while
(Bridge)
They speak in whispers of your mystery
They think they know
but darling they don't know
The truest magic's in the things youalmost say
The fire that you bank to a quiet
gorgeous glow
(Outro)
So let the trumpet cry…
let the bassline crawl…
You are the most beautiful risk of all
The velvet trap…
The sweetest slow collapse…
Yeah…
just one more taste before the curtain falls…
