Velvet Pretension

[Intro] [Verse 1] Velvet blazers and a borrowed rhyme, I quote Kafka while I k**l time. Strut through the café, monocle gaze, My vinyl collection could fill a museum display. [Chorus] Oh, it’s velvet pretension, darling, can’t you see? A counterfeit soul with a Ph.D. in poetry. I’ll name-drop Sartre over synth-pop beats, A masterpiece of nothing, repeating on repeat. [Verse 2] Sip espresso with a pinky raised, Declare the zeitgeist “unphased, underphrased.” You’re all too basic, I’m avant-garde, But my heart’s a cliché playing postcards. [Chorus] Oh, it’s velvet pretension, darling, can’t you see? A counterfeit soul with a Ph.D. in poetry. I’ll name-drop Sartre over synth-pop beats, A masterpiece of nothing, repeating on repeat. [Bridge] I curate my flaws like gallery art, A walking paradox with a hollow heart. The mirrors all whisper, “You’re second-hand smart,” But I’ll jangle my guitar like it’s Brando’s part. [Chorus] Oh, it’s velvet pretension, darling, can’t you see? A counterfeit soul with a Ph.D. in poetry. I’ll name-drop Sartre over synth-pop beats, A masterpiece of nothing, repeating on repeat. [Outro]
