Velvet Damage

You can bruise something soft
And it still looks beautiful

Velvet skin, fragile frame
Whispered lies in my name
Bruised but dressed in gold
Damage never told

Touch too hard, I'll bruise again

Velvet damage in disguise
(Underneath it's bleeding)
Soft perfection, silent cries
(No one's really seeing)
Hold me gently or I break
Every touch a small mistake

Delicate but breaking slow
Cracks that nobody will know
Soft decay behind my eyes
Beauty fading in disguise

Touch too hard, I'll bruise again!

Velvet damage in disguise
(Underneath it's bleeding)
Soft perfection, silent cries
(No one's really seeing)
Hold me gently or I break
Every touch a small mistake

Pull the thread, unravel me
Watch the softness tear at the seams

Velvet damage in disguise
(I'm still bleeding)
Every truth I sterilized
(Now you're seeing)
If I fall from this display
Let the softness fade away
