Velvet Cipher

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found the sign on the door Wax seal, black thread, one more Names crossed out in gold ink Three knocks, then the floor would blink A ring on a pale hand A map drawn in ash and sand You said, “Don’t ask, don’t stare” But you knew I’d be there [Pre-Chorus] One lantern under skin One key for where we’ve been The room starts breathing low And I feel the whole thing glow [Chorus] Velvet cipher, velvet cipher (velvet cipher) Let me in, let me in Velvet cipher, velvet cipher (velvet cipher) Where the locked ones begin [Verse 2] They trade their vows in smoke Under marble, under oak Teacups on a silver tray Every word a price to pay I read the marks on the wall A hundred names, one call You touched the hidden seam And I fell into the dream [Pre-Chorus] One lantern under skin One key for where we’ve been The room starts breathing low And I feel the whole thing glow [Chorus] Velvet cipher, velvet cipher (velvet cipher) Let me in, let me in Velvet cipher, velvet cipher (velvet cipher) Where the locked ones begin [Bridge] [Half-time break] No faces, only signs No clocks inside these lines If I swear, do you swear? If I vanish, are you there? [Chorus] Velvet cipher, velvet cipher (velvet cipher) Let me in, let me in Velvet cipher, velvet cipher (velvet cipher) Where the locked ones begin
