Anberlin - Velvet Covered Brick Lyrics

Cyclical
Stuck inside a never-ending ride
But you're comfortable
Just another decomposing alibi
Sing yourself to sleep
Count the days gone by
But outside of your walls passes real life
So here's a velvet covered brick
Death comes to us all too quick
Here's your chance to live, but I heard you say, oh

We're heading nowhere
It's my cross to bear
Even horizons can fade
Hope says she's never estranged
There aren't a wing or a prayer
If we're heading nowhere

Turbulence
Am I causing you to think outside yourself for once?
You're still comfortable
Dissolving years like no one else before
And I said, lead the way you are
Lead your way through this
But fear and failure's made you its captive, it's passive
So here's a velvet covered brick
Death comes to us all too quick
Here's your chance to love, but I heard you scream, oh

We're heading nowhere
It's my cross to bear
Even horizons can fade
Hope says she's never estranged
There aren't a wing or a prayer
If we're heading nowhere

Even horizons can fade
Hope says she's never estranged
There aren't a wing or a prayer

We're heading nowhere
It's my cross to bear
Even horizons can fade
Hope says she's never estranged
There aren't a wing or a prayer
If we're heading nowhere
