Note from me, Bork Jellyfisch is finalized. This is the last regular track, so 6 songs, their mirror versions, and a bonus ;). Velvet Cage isn't quite as dystopian as the others, but it still deals with the serious topics of longing, obsession, and dependence. I hope you like it. Volume and Pitch can be adjusted in the bottom left corner... and of course feel free to use the song for other projects
Lyrics: [Intro] Silk on my skin, your name in my breath I wear you like perfume, I sleep in your debt [Verse 1] You moved like a secret I wasn’t meant to know A glance, a spark, and now I won’t let go I traced your silence like a map to grace Now I’m lost in the lines of your unspoken face [Pre-Chorus] I thought I held the key But you locked the door from inside me I’m not your lover, not your muse Just a mirror you never choose [Chorus] I built this velvet cage With threads of you and rage It’s soft, it’s warm, it’s mine But I can’t escape in time I dressed it up in gold But it’s colder than I’m told I stay, I ache, I crave Inside this velvet cage [Verse 2] I mimic your smile, I mirror your moves A shadow stitched to your groove I speak in echoes of things you said But your voice lives louder in my head [Pre-Chorus 2] You never cared for me You just watched me unravel I fed the fire with silence And called it love [Chorus] I built this velvet cage With threads of you and rage It’s soft, it’s warm, it’s mine But I can’t escape in time I dressed it up in gold But it’s colder than I’m told I stay, I ache, I crave Inside this velvet cage [Bridge] I’m the prisoner and the warden I’m the shrine and the sword I begged for your attention Now I bl33d for the reward [Final Chorus / Outro] I built this velvet cage And now I burn the stage No curtain call, no grace Just ashes in your place I stay, I ache, I crave Inside this velvet cage
