Velvet Crush In the Presence of Greatness Lyrics

This is my best effort - please leave corrections in comments

Window to the World

I see you up on your soapbox
I see you pinning your halo
You think and go through the motions
You think you know but you don't know

It feels so wrong I think you should let it go
You've been there long enough to know

Beautiful life
Wasted time
Beautiful dream
It's not mine

Your world to me is so hollow
You put them on like a raincoat
Your lies look so shallow
You think you see but you don't know
It's been so long
I guess you can't let it go
Maybe some things never change

It takes so long for me to not let it show
It's worth makes me walk away

And in your space I know you feel better
There in one place you always feel alright

You never really desert them
You want to leave but you don't go
See you draw back your curtain
You see it all from the window


Drive Me Down

Drive me down
Drive me down

Don't want to think about it
Got nothing to do about it

I know it
And you know it now
I saw it
And I know how you

You drive me down
You drive me down

Had to keep my distance from you
Less drink or two (??) to know you
You were perfect and you knew it
But lucky break I guess I blew it

I know it
And you know it too
I saw you
And I know how you

You drive me down
You drive me down
You drive me down

Drive me down
Drive me down, down
Drive me down
Drive me down


Ash and Earth

Try and hold on to a dream
Never get more than it means
I need to feel it
I know it's bad
Feel so tired and scattered

Reconstruct me from the tatters
Resurrect me from the ash
And the earth

So alone to wait and see
Slowly all day comes to be
Be by my side
Dedicate
This is all that matters

Reconstruct me from the tatters
Resurrect me from the ash and the earth that I've become

Be by my side
Dedicate

Reconstruct me from the tatters
Resurrect me from the ash and earth
Reconstruct me from the tatters
Resurrect me from the ash and earth

White Soul

Listen with your head
Tell me what you think that you said
Listen to your heart
Tell me if you want it to start

Listen soul music
Soul music soul
Soul searching
Soul letting go

Soul music
Soul music
Soul music oh

Listen try and see
Tell me what you read into me
Listen now and speak
Tell me what you think you believe
Listen soul music
Soul music soul
Soul searching
Soul letting go
Soul music soul music
Soul music oh

Tear it apart
Strip through the bones
And my heart
Aah

Listen now and touch
Tell me if you want it enough
Listen try to feel
Tell me if you think this is real
Listen soul music
Soul music soul
Soul searching soul letting go
Soul music soul music
Soul music oh

Superstar

Ah
Like I told myself a hundred times
Like it takes the pain away

Concerning this turning
It's changed me
Leave you dry if you hide

Don't see it
Believe it
Don't think you never feel the shine

Ah
Like I tell myself a hundred times a day
Like it takes the tears away

Concerning this turning
It's changed me
Even running a while

Don't see it
Believe it
Don't think you'll never be inside

Ah

Blind Faith

When I was down
Needed someone to befriend
You weren't around so that's the end
You watched me fall and never offered me a hand
You kicked me once and that's enough

So help me now I don't need much to live
And take me now I've got no trust left to give

When she came in
She got underneath my skin
If she gives me time then that's enough

Another one to tell me
Love and I don't long   [??]
Friends that come and go so long
So long

Maybe this is not the place
To put my faith after all
This is not the place to put my faith

So know me now
I don't need much to live
And take me now
I've got no trust left to give
Baby
This is not the place to put my faith after all
This is not the place to put my faith

This is not the place to put my faith after all
This is not the place to put my faith
Whoo!

Speedway Baby

Twilight in the eastern sky
Hit me as it came
He is going to die
Round the shades the night was still
Stopping me as I began

Gliding through the northern lights
We even hit our stride but only for a while
So far up and so far down
It took so long to get around

See the way it goes
It went so fast
See the make believe
It won't last

Sky in the western sky
Like it never left
Leave us back tonight
Comes around lets it go
Not so tight and not so

See the way it goes
Went so fast
See the make believe
It won't last


Stop

Tell me what you're thinking now my dear
Can we make it through another year like this one
So sad and ordinary this life dips along
We've been so patient for so long

Tell me are we doing right my love
Thinking only pain is guidance from a firehouse
How plain and melancholy this world tends to be
With no one saving me from me

Finding out as we go
On and on there is no
Way that we could stop

So simply unremarkable our days unfold
Still I'm not ready to let go

Finding out as we go
On and on there is no
Way that we could stop


Asshole

Lose yourself and you lose control
There is no one else to tell you when it goes

Lose your care
And your sense of smell
You lose everything you ever call your own

Think that you won't miss it when it's gone
Think you won't be lonely when you're alone

Think that you won't miss it when it's gone
Think you won't be lonely when you're alone

Lose yourself and you lose it all
You won't even know your heart from your asshole
You won't even know your heart from your asshole
You won't even know your heart


Die a Little Every Day

Everyone's got it bad
Everyone goes from bad to worse now bad
Given the chance

Everyone sees the end
Everyone's just your temporary friend
Of circumstance

Nothing's left but the feeling that we go on
Nothing's right for the start of each new day
If this is all there is then what are we here for
If there's no more than this than why are we here

Drifting in space and time
True direction seems so hard to find and understand
Everyone has to end
And die a little every single day
By their own hand

Nothing's left but the feeling that we go on
Nothing's right for the start of each new day
If this is all there is then what are we here for
If there's no more than this than why are we here

Nothing's left but the feeling that we go on
Nothing's right for the start of each new day
If this is all there is then what are we here for
If there's no more than this than why are we here
If there's no more than this
