Velvet Coat

When you’re wondering
How you keep repeating, deceiving
Ask the man in the velvet coat
He’ll give your words new meaning
Don’t you know that your thoughts are things
It’s a joke, it’s healing

Why keep grumbling about the way
His time is spent on dreaming
Take his medicine with a sense
Of happiness and agency
Won’t you help me help you out
It’s a game, it’s healing

And I should have been worth your time
I should have made you check your pride
We’ll put our stones out on the nights of the full moons
Why do we have to suffer all the time?

And we can’t keep floating above it all
We need that fire to survive
We can’t attempt to destroy it all
On our own damn timeline
The fire it will be warm for you
Warm for my baby
The journey will be effortless

I'm enjoying forgiving you
Working hard this evening
Planting seeds for a friend to come
And elevate the ceiling
Don’t you know that your thoughts are things
Its a joke, it’s healing
