The Velvet Trapeze

[Intro]
[Verse]
Silver needle bites the rust
Turning ancient silk to dust
Broken gears I cannot trust
Leaving shadows in the dust
Stitching back the circus train
Washing out the velvet stain
Walking through the spirit rain
Hiding all the phantom pain
[Pre-Chorus]
And the colors start to bleed
Planting every phantom seed
Higher than the wires go
Listen to the velvet show
[Chorus]
Catch the acrobat mid-air
Tangled in the weaver’s hair
Mend the fabric of the past
Make the fleeting moment last
Golden threads and indigo
Watch the ghostly spirits grow
[Post-Chorus]
Stitch the heavy sky
Do not ask me why
Let the spirits fly
Silk and velvet lie
[Verse]
Synths start to warp
Broken golden harp
Jagged little sharp
Lonely silver carp
Splitting at the edge
On a temporal ledge
Over spirit hedge
Silent silver pledge
[Interlude]
The needle hums in D minor
I am the ghost’s designer
Searching for a silver liner
Nothing could be any finer
Can you see the trapeze swing?
Can you hear the dead bells ring?
[Bridge]
Oh the weight of every stitch
Falling down the timeline ditch
Find the secret master switch
Life is such a velvet hitch
Light the stars inside the cloth
Drawn like any silver moth
[Chorus]
Catch the acrobat mid-air
Tangled in the weaver’s hair
Mend the fabric of the past
Make the fleeting moment last
Golden threads and indigo
Watch the ghostly spirits grow
[Post-Chorus]
Stitch the heavy sky
Do not ask me why
Let the spirits fly
Silk and velvet lie
[Outro]
