Velvet Revolver

Velvet Revolver is an American hard rock supergroup consisting of former Guns N' Roses members Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum, alongside Dave Kushner formerly of punk band Wasted Youth and Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland who left the band in 2008. In 2004, the band achieved commercial success with their debut album, Contraband. Despite positive reviews, some critics initially described Velvet Revolver as a mere combination of Stone Temple Pilots and Guns N' Roses, criticizing them for a "disconnection" between Scott Weiland and the rest of the band. With their single "Slither", they won the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. more »

Can't rise from the bottom
Time flies when ya got it
Your time has receded
Wasted
Could, should have been, and didn't

[Chorus:]
I've given up my hand for a brother
I've given up a hand for free
I've risen and forgiven, and I've pardoned
But you set yourself free

Nose dive crash to the bottom
Angel, your wing was always broken
Fought for rights of the prophets
Not for the spirit of your daughters
I did it...

[Chorus]

Walk slowly
Seems like time stopped
Seems like I'm slow dancing
But I'm flying
Where do I go?
The home I know is closed
I'm free
Free, yeah
I'm free
Free, yeah
Free, free, yeah

[Chorus]

Bitten off my hand for the stuff, and
Livin' off the shit you steal
You perished for religious and forgotten
Daughters that you couldn't see

Given up my hand
You set yourself free
Given up a hand for free
Given up my hand
You set yourself free
But you set yourself free
