Velvet Opium

Room goes soft when the needle finds the groove Candle breeze, slow halo, old wood remembers you Guitar strums like a tide, pulls the light away Words fall like feathers and settle where we stay Music like opium, curling 'round my throat Velvet kind of silence, an echo I can't choke Music like opium, came to set a mark Helps to stand the silence and surrender to the dark Windows sweating moonshine, noise a distant drum Your voice a slow confession, soft as the coming sun Hands in pockets of the night, fingers count the beats Every note’s a sleepy promise, folding me in sheets Music like opium, curling 'round my throat Velvet kind of silence, an echo I can't choke Music like opium, came to set a mark Helps to stand the silence and surrender to the dark There is a silvery voice where the melody rest I taste your name in minor keys on my chest Time passes gently—no rush to part Under the ceiling, we let the listening start Music like opium, curling 'round my throat Velvet kind of silence, an echo I can't choke Music like opium, came to set a mark Helps to stand the silence and surrender to the dark So play it low, play it long—let the night forget its name We’ll drift where sound remembers how to love without a claim Taken from the 4-Track EP "Velvet Opium"
