Black glass eyes
You watch me move
Lipstick threat
Across the room
You say my name
Like breaking rules
Drag that vow
Across my shoes
Velvet hex on my veins tonight
You pull the halo off my pride
Burn my halo
Kiss the crime
Slow poison on your tongue in time
Velvet hex
And I can't step back
Every promise dressed in black
Call it worship
Call it lust
Either way
You own the dust
Candle wax
On tailored skin
Tight-laced truth
I'm breathing in
You trace fate
Along my throat
Stage-light glare
On every note
Velvet hex on my veins tonight
You pull the halo off my pride
Burn my halo
Kiss the crime
Slow poison on your tongue in time
Velvet hex
And I can't step back
Every promise dressed in black
Call it worship
Call it lust
Either way
You own the dust
Say when to fall
Say when to stay
You turn my pulse
Into your runway (oh)
Silk and control
Tangled and tight
One last command
I'll stay in your sight
Velvet hex on my veins tonight
You pull the halo off my pride
Burn my halo
Kiss the crime
Slow poison on your tongue in time
Velvet hex
And I can't step back
Every promise dressed in black
Call it worship
Call it lust
Either way
You own the dust
