lyrics

VELVET HAMMERS. The only problem with doing your own thing is you’ve gotta do it on your own. My words are feeble blows, mere velvet hammers that pound so softly on these skins of stone. All my thoughts are cans of worms; I force them down and my stomach churns. If you expect me to hold this back, then you should know I never will – if you know me at all. What’s the point in promoting peace through war? Behind closed doors, these madonnas are oil whores. I’d like to bomb the whole globe with white doves. If there’s one word to save my world, it’s love. The only constant is inconsistency, but I persist ‘cos hope is not dead yet. Their words are placebos, prescription bullshit. A bandaid will not help to set these bones. Fury fires produce sad smoke; I suck it down and my spirit chokes. If you expect age to quench these flames, then you should know it never will – if you know me at all. I stand tall. What’s the point in promoting peace through war? Behind closed doors, these madonnas are oil whores. I’d like to bomb the whole globe with white doves. If there’s one word to save my world, it’s love. You’ll never call, you’ll never fall for me; in fractured heavens, you’re bored but happy. You came across as something more – but then, the untouchable’s easier to adore…
