Velvet Voices — waji

i think some songs sound beautiful for the wrong reasons this is one of them “Velvet Voices” by waji Lyrics: Neon dripping from your skin Slow like smoke, we’re sinking in Every note feels paper-thin But they don’t hear where we’ve been We play it soft, we play it slow Give them everything we don’t show Velvet voices in the dark Dancing close, but worlds apart You say this is who we are But we’re breaking where we are They love our sound, the way it bleeds The way it hides what we don’t speak They sing along like it’s a dream But they don’t know what it means They love our sound, the way we fade Like broken hearts in silver haze They feel the high, they chase the wave While we just drift away We play it soft, we play it slow Give them everything we don’t show Velvet voices in the dark Dancing close, but worlds apart You say this is who we are But we’re breaking where we are Your fingers tracing every line Like you’re reading through my mind But every touch just feels like time Slipping through us, out of rhyme If they saw us in the quiet No lights, no crowd, no violence Would they still call this love? Or just beautiful silence? Velvet voices in the dark Dancing close, but worlds apart You say this is who we are… But we’re breaking where we are
