Kimo Sounds - Velvet Rot

Silk on the seats
Golden glass
Your hand looks steady
But the wheel spins fast
Pearls on your throat
Bruises beneath
Smile for the camera
Then bite through the feast
House like a shrine
Still feels like a tomb
Moon on the marble
Dead flowers in bloom
You keep it moving
I keep my face still
Every bright promise
Has a sharpened edge
Velvet rot, velvet rot
You wear it so well
Velvet rot (velvet rot)
Sweet as pearl
Take what you want
Then watch it fall apart
Velvet rot (velvet rot)
Eat in the heart
Champagne on ice
Blood in the red
Cash in the drawer
And a crack in the head
Fast little kisses
Slow little lies
Everything glittering
'Til it goes blind
House like a shrine
Still feels like a tomb
Moon on the marble
Dead flowers in bloom
You keep it moving
I keep my face still
Every bright promise
Has a sharpened edge
Velvet rot (velvet rot)
You wear it so well
Velvet rot (velvet rot)
Sweet as pearl
Take what you want
Then watch it fall apart
Velvet rot, velvet rot
Eat in the heart
Strip off the shine
What's left is the bruise
All of those winnings
Still something to lose
I saw the end
In the bend of your smile
Beautiful ruin
Was waitin' the whole while
Velvet rot (velvet rot)
You wear it so well
Velvet rot (velvet rot)
Sweet as pearl
Take what you want
Then watch it fall apart
Velvet rot (velvet rot)
Eat in the heart
