ANBERLIN - Velvet Covered Brick lyrics

rate me

Cyclical

Stuck inside a never ending rhyme

But you're comfortable

Just another decomposing alibi

Sing yourself to sleep, count the days gone by

But outside of your walls passes real life

So here's a velvet covered brick, death comes to us all too quick

Here's your chance to live, but I heard you say

"We're heading nowhere

It's not close to them

Even horizons can fade

Hope says she's never a saint

They’re all waiting on a prayer

If we're heading nowhere"

Turbulence

Am I causing you to think outside a cell for once?

Just feel comfortable

Dissolving years like no one else before

And I said lead to where you are, lead your way through this

But fear and fail has made you its captive, it's passive

So here's a velvet covered brick, death comes to us all too quick

Here's your chance to love, but I heard you scream

"We're heading nowhere

It's not close to them

Even horizons can fade

Hope says she's never a saint

They’re all waiting on a prayer

If we're heading nowhere"
