Ash On The Velvet Floor

[Intro]
Last call
Glass in my hand, heart on the floor
Old coat on a velvet chair
Your name burned into the door

Low laugh
Someone’s perfume cuts the smoke
I trace your face in a water ring
Sip slow so I don’t choke

[Chorus]
Ash on the velvet floor
Every lie that we lit, now it’s drifting
You walked out, but the room stays yours
Every shadow you left, still shifting
Ash on the velvet floor
I keep sweeping you up, but you’re sticking
Every ember I hide, glows more
Why your ghost in my lungs, still hitting?

[Verse 1]
Eyes red
From the jukebox and the gin
Same song scratching at the wound
Same booth we were tangled in

Bartender
Says my name like it’s a prayer
I just nod at the empty seat
Like you might drop back in that chair

[Chorus]
Ash on the velvet floor
Every lie that we lit, now it’s drifting
You walked out, but the room stays yours
Every shadow you left, still shifting
Ash on the velvet floor
I keep sweeping you up, but you’re sticking
Every ember I hide, glows more
Why your ghost in my lungs, still hitting?

[Bridge / Build]
Raise the lights just a little (hey)
Heartbeats drum in my chest
Thought I buried this battle
But your lipstick laughs on my vest

Every drag, every drag
Pulls me back through that door
I’m the last one left in this castle
Knees pressed hard to the floor

[Chorus]
Ash on the velvet floor
Every lie that we lit, now it’s drifting
You walked out, but the room stays yours
Every shadow you left, still shifting
Ash on the velvet floor
I keep sweeping you up, but you’re sticking
Every ember I hide, glows more
Why your ghost in my lungs, still hitting?
