Heavy dusty velvet

folded on the leather chair

Over the tears the cat scratched in

The scratches are still there

Just like they've always been

We take that velvet and let it billow

You hold your end, I hold mine

Wave it 'til the fibers fly off

Saturate this fluorescent haze

Snuff out the industrial daylight officer

That never blinks an eye

Velvet, spin your black about

grant us our dear darkness

Break the bulbs, pull the plugs

Leave just a flickering wick

standing meekly by the night

pointing at the infinite depth 

of the black of its eyes

And velvet settles, velvet rests

We climb beneath and gaze

Into a fleeting moment disappear

Dissolved into the darkness

Like we've always been here
