lyrics
Don’t walk alone down the velvet road. The dawn is coming to lead you home. And we will rise, ashes away. We’ll wake up new, all that remains. Now you’ve been told, “It don’t come easy.” Still, somehow, you can’t stop believing. Step out of your bones into the night, and call to me across the miles.
Don’t tell me the glory days are gone. Don’t close your eyes. We’re not alone. You know we dare not speak its name, but want it in the worst way. Hymnals for our battle cries. A brothel sworn to lullabies. “We could’ve had it all,” they say, and tremble as they turn away.
Said, “I fell deep one July morning. A face in the crowd in the noon parade. In all my days, nothing has changed. Twenty years, and I’m still calling out her name.”
I followed you down every hall. I felt your skin. I know your thorns. Don’t tell me that you’ve lost the fight. I’ve seen the fever in your eyes. Make some mayhem with me now, and someday we will find our crowd - those renegades we heard about. We’ll steal away and paint the town.
Do you remember a quarter till nine? Barefoot at the drive in, slinging moonshine all night. Hope, we hardly knew you after all these years spent singing someone else’s blues that somehow led us here.
Too proud to say you broke me, but I need you like the old days. Now, we’re too far gone. There’s nobody waiting. One look across the room, and somehow, we’re still standing. Call me a liar - it’s always been a gamble. They say it’s a fix. I call it a pardon. There’s a man in a Cadillac making an offer. They say it’s a shame. I call it a cancer. They took you away, and I’m lost in the embers. They say it’s a hit. Call it redemption - shored against the ruins, veiled in distance. They say it all will fade. The mark of a traitor! We are vanished in the wake of what we lost. You might think you’ve got me, but you’ll never find a body. The rivers rust over. You’ll surely lose your way. The vandals are the prophets here. The truth is in the corner, dear. And I can’t bring you home.
Don’t walk alone down the velvet road. The dawn is coming to lead you home. And we will rise, ashes away. We’ll wake up new, all that remains.
Take me home. Oh, I’ve been waiting all these years to see your face. The glory days are here again. Stand by me. Let the moonlight in.
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023
