Need a house to be a home, but the walls speak a thousand words
Bury a debt in my head, I could burst into flame and never feel the burn
Something outta nothing they were preaching, but I've been used to the taste of dirt
Screaming for anybody to save me, but the music's where you find the words
How was I supposed to keep a level head, with everybody weighing me down
Spending hours on the phone and keep em venting it out
Taking in all of the pain, hearing em beg for a change
Wide smiles when the bodies about
It's like we plugged into a screen, switched off from within
Gather confidence and drive from the drug in our skin
Second hand, no clock, with the hearts we were given
And aren't we forgiven, we never found the light to begin
I see the eyes
Covered with the hand we own
Never watch the name evolve, knowing that we're meant to grow
Suffer till the end of time, damn I wish you all could breathe
Wait for the moment to strike, take the chance you need
Moment to moment is not how to live, begging for a push you never offered to give
Sickness, it begins in the mind
Seeing everything, leaving us blind
Gotta be that age old saying, I've heard it many times before
You could have the key to greatness, but all we can do is show the door
I wanna raise that banner now, I never meant to let you down
But it's time for me to settle down, time to be that selfish now
Velvet eyes, velvet eyes, velvet eyes
Suffer from those velvet eyes velvet eyes velvet eyes
Really wanna see the velvet sky, velvet sky, velvet sky
We just gotta take our time, take our time, take, our, time
Wandering through a street, cars buzzing to your right
To the left is an alleyway that'll take you home
Try to envision this shit if you can
Give in to what you know or catch a ride to the throne
It's so irrelevant though, I'm positive I'll do this shit on my own
Where I'm stopping well there's nobody home
So the only option in keeping it known
I believe in so much more than I own
So much more than I'm owed
Is to jump in front of a ride and hope I make it to the other side
No prep, just dive in, man I'll be right
This is how you're sounding, while you're chasing a dream
Patience you need, the consequence of rushing it's greed
There's so many you see, lining offices in dark rooms
Rocking them hard suits, pushing you to hard truth
Never throw a fist, but they be punishing the past you
Say its never so, but you want it, then you can charge through
It's been a ride, and imma tell it as so
I'll do whatever if its helping us grow
And if you spend the time to the side watching fellas that blow
You ain't nothing till you're letting them know
That you're next in line, so take your time, no other day
Tomorrow comes, and we could die, but anyway
Save your mind, take those shots, or run away
Case closed on another day
Gotta be that age old saying, I've heard it many times before
You could have the key to greatness, but all we can do is show the door
I wanna raise that banner now, I never meant to let you down
But it's time for me to settle down, time to be that selfish now
Velvet eyes, velvet eyes, velvet eyes
Suffer from those velvet eyes velvet eyes velvet eyes
Really wanna see the velvet sky, velvet sky, velvet sky
We just gotta take our time, take our time, take, our, time
