Velvet Illusions

[Verse 1] Whiskey on my breath, the night's cold on my skin, The moon hangs low, shadows where I've been. In this dark Eden, where my secrets bleed, What seduces me, the freedom in the need. [Chorus] What seduces me about this dark Eden, Is the whispered promise that ain't beaten. Truth and lies, they dance so even, In the heart of night, that's what I'm believin’. [Verse 2] The stars watch quiet on a velvet stage, Lost dreams wander like ghosts in a cage. This Eden holds me, won't let me flee, In its dark embrace, I feel strangely free. [Chorus] What seduces me about this dark Eden, Is the whispered promise that ain't beaten. Truth and lies, they dance so even, In the heart of night, that's what I'm believin’.
