Текст песни
Woke up with the taste of rust
And promises turned into dust
In a room that smells of pine and spite
And a single, flickering, yellow light
Scratched my name on the windowpane
Watched it get washed off by the rain
Another symbol, another stain
That won't come off, and won't explain
In the VELVET DIRT! Yeah!
And the BROKEN MIRRORS! Look!
I see myself a little clearer!
In the VELVET DIRT!
Every step, a muted sound
On this cold, un-holy ground!
You said keep it clean, you said play it right
But you're just a shadow in the neon light
I traded polish for this honest grime
It takes a little longer, every time
To find the words that aren't a lie
Beneath this unforgiving sky
So pass the bottle, kill the noise
We're just our fathers' broken toys
In the VELVET DIRT!
And the BROKEN MIRRORS!
Is it rebellion? Or just sleep?
The promises we couldn't keep
Are buried in the backyard, shallow and deep
I CAN'T FEEL A THING! BUT I FEEL IT ALL!
WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO FALL!
IN THE VELVET DIRT! IT'S ALL I KNOW!
AND THE BROKEN MIRRORS! WHERE ELSE CAN I GO?
I SEE MYSELF A LITTLE CLEARER!
IN THE VELVET DIRT! DIRT!
EVERY STEP! A MUTED SOUND!
SCREAMING BUT NO ONE'S AROUND!
