Velvet Grid

[Verse 1]

Empty hallway

Buzzing exit sign

My reflection in the glass

Asks if I’m alive

Coffee going cold

Name smudged on the cup

I trace it with my thumb

Till the ink gives up

[Chorus]

I’m fading in the velvet grid

Soft and slow

Then locked in it

Every line a little cage

Every breath a trembling wave

If there’s a door

I can’t find it

If there’s a god

It stays silent

I’m fading in the velvet grid

(velvet grid, velvet grid)

[Verse 2]

Phone face down

Still it starts to glow

Unread messages

From versions I don’t know

Late bills on the table

Dust on every frame

All these little quiet proofs

Nothing’s stayed the same

[Chorus]

I’m fading in the velvet grid

Soft and slow

Then locked in it

Every line a little cage

Every breath a trembling wave

If there’s a door

I can’t find it

If there’s a god

It stays silent

I’m fading in the velvet grid

(velvet grid, velvet grid)

[Bridge]

What if this is all there is

Just humming lights and tired skin

Just one long

Low-lit room

Where we wait to be forgiven

Tell me there’s a second scene

Past this washed-out movie screen

Tell me

Or lie to me

Just don’t let the credits roll

[Chorus]

I’m fading in the velvet grid

Soft and slow

Still stuck in it

Every line a little cage

Every breath a trembling wave

If there’s a door

I’ll walk through it

If there’s a god

Let it prove it

I’m fading in the velvet grid

(velvet grid, velvet grid)
