"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 the velvet-covered brick
Death comes to us all too quick
Here's your chance to live but I heard you say

We're heading nowhere
It's my cross to bear
Even horizons can fade
Hope said she's never estranged
There aren't wings or even a prayer
If I'm 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 fail has made you its captive it's passive

So here's the velvet-covered brick
Death comes to us all too quick
Here's your chance to live but I heard you say

We're heading nowhere
It's my cross to bear
Even horizons can fade
Hope said she's never estranged
There aren't wings or even a prayer
If I'm heading nowhere
Turbulence am I causing you to think outside yourself, for once
You're still comfortable
Dissolving years like no one else before
