lyrics

"Velvet Sea"

We used to have everything
The heat of the sun and the rush of the wind
You said "I'll just take, just take my part
And it won't hurt, won't hurt the heart of the world"

I tread across the velvet sea
The layers of your oil just gift packaging me
You said you'd just take, just take your part
You thought it wouldn't affect the heart of the world

Every step you make just takes us far away from home
Every breath I take, it just begs the question
What have we done?
It's like we switched off the lightbulb burning in our sun
Our world's undone

You took the shine from the oyster's pearl
You treated yourself as the king of the world
You said "I'll just take, just take my part,
And who cares if we hurt the heart of this world?"

Every step you make just takes us far away from home
Every breath I take, it just begs the question
What have we done?
It's like we switched off the lightbulb burning in our sun
Our world's undone

You just make the same mistakes again
So draw the line
Forget yourself
Forget yourself and have a heart next time
Have a heart next time

Every step you make just takes us further away from home
Every breath I take, it just begs the question
What have we done?
We switched off the lightbulb burning in our sun
Our world's undone
Stone cold undone

So have a heart next time
Have a heart next time

We used to have everything
Until you cut down all our trees
And put a howl into the wind
You said "I just took, just took my part
I never meant to rip out the heart of this world..."
