Velvet Armor (feat. 3 American Roses)

I walked through fire in high-heeled grace You smiled at me like I should break But darling, I've seen sharper blades And wore them just to feel awake You think I shimmer just for show But this glow is forged, not borrowed Every bruise beneath my glow Is a scar that learned to follow I wear velvet armor, soft but steel You can touch, but never steal Power wrapped in skin that heals I'm the storm you didn't feel Till I hit you... for real I built my throne from fallen nights From whispered doubts and dim streetlights And now I dance with all my might No crown, just truth in neon light You thought I'd fold like paper skin But I bend, then rise again If I cry, I cry to win With mascara like a pen I wear velvet armor, soft but steel You can touch, but never steal Power wrapped in skin that heals I'm the storm you didn't feel Till I hit you... for real I don't scream, I radiate I don't chase, I resonate If you blink, you'll miss the gate This fire comes dressed in grace Velvet armor, make it known I am woman, flesh and stone Not your queen, I rule alone Heart of gold, and edge of chrome Watch me rise... I'm already home Watch me rise... I'm already home
