Velvet Lace Lyrics

I'm not hiding in the suburbs

That is a younger thing

You cannot begin to wonder

The ways I am suffering

Teardrops, muddy clothes

I'm not supposed to feel so

Out-of-place, slow

I decompose

As if a dress made out of velvet lace

People always come and go

And that'll never change

"The good ones stay"

Or so it goes

Or they leave without a trace

Seven went last month

It's far too much

How much time will it take

Completely out-of-touch

The feeling's crushed

Just like that velvet lace

I could wait here on the hour

For you to say something

Dwell and let the feeling sour

And wither away to nothing

Tell me I'm achieved

A one-way street

Is not where I am heading

The fabric and the seams

Its just a dream, as I

Pull on the threading

Run my fingers through the flowers

Hand-stitched embroidery

The creation built of my desires

Is falling apart around me

Why must good things break

Why must I ache

In the bed of which I must lay

Synthetic and fake

I tear away

Every inch of that velvet lace
