Lyrics Velvet Covered Brick - Anberlin

Cyclical
Stuck inside a never-ending ride
But you're comfortable
Just another decomposing alibi

Sing yourself to sleep
Count the days go by
But outside your walls passes the 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, oh

We're heading nowhere
It's my cross to bear
Even horizons can change
Hope said she's never estranged
There aren't a wing or a prayer
If I'm heading nowhere

Turbulence
Am I causing you to think outside yourself?
You're so comfortable
Dissolving years like no one else before

I said lead the way you are
Lead your way through this
But fear and failures made you so passive, captive

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

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

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