Velvet Covered Brick - Anberlin

Cyclical, stuck inside a never ending rhyme

But you’re comfortable, just another decomposing alibis

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»
