Velvet Jesus Lyrics

Empty bottles on my nightstand

Make new friends day by day

Collecting dust and fingerprints

It's communion in my own way

I pray to whoever's listening

They probably couldn't give a damn

At least they listen to the cries of

A sacrificial lamb

This velvet Jesus hangs there

Judging the moves I make

He Says I can walk on water

But I'm drowning in mistakes

I know the psalms like my own palms

Sing it loud and make them proud

The saints of sins and vinyl record spins

Keep me safe in my own shroud

Still, I live in fear of falling

Out of grace just to find

That is the only revelation

Is not what we've redefined

This velvet Jesus hangs there

Judging the moves I make

He Says I can walk on water

But I'm drowning in mistakes

This velvet Jesus hangs there

Judging the moves I make

He Says I can walk on water

But I'm drowning in mistakes
