Close your eyes
All of us alone tonight
Whisper low
A coded message through the wire
I'm outside
My cellphone for once I don't mind
Your thoughts are seamless, curling slow
Neon faded, just like mine
Don't worry hard about the war we fight
Chances and chaos, they so easily turn
Sooner or later, you know all of us will bleed
My darling Velveteen
Tie-dyed in this fever dream
Scarlet blush (scarlet blush)
I'm colored so deliriously
Don't worry hard about the world on fire
Chance into chaos, they so easily turn
Sooner or later, ashes are all that will be
Oh, my darling Velveteen
My darling Velveteen
Last night
I lie before imagining you
Riding on sparkling lunar tides
I reached
For what seemed to be your hand
And felt
The ground falling far from my feet
But in the daylight, I saw everything
Left here to ponder all that it could mean
Sooner or later, all of us must become real
Don't worry hard about the things we do
We're so far off, I can't remember you
Sooner or later and you won't remember me
Oh, my darling Velveteen
My darling Velveteen
My darling Velveteen
