Life in Velvet Lining
And I wake up again and feel like I'm dead
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
And I stare at the ceiling with my heart full of dread
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
Wishing that whatever's up there would put me to rest
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
This whole existing thing is worse than I had guessed
You're burning daylight, you piece of shit, go get dressed
I used to say "I don't want to die, I just want to be dead"
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
Now I really don't care how it happens, just end it, I want to get out of my head
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
I never thought I'd think like this. It used to be fine to be me
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
I don't know what's wrong with me. People used to want to see me
I'm burning daylight again, and nothing here can free me
Where did I go wrong
Was it something that I did that makes me not belong
Is my brain's malfunctioning my fault
No need to worry, it's just another lethal thought
The way she smiles, the way she uses her voice
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
The things I have become, consequences of each choice
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
I don't deserve to smile, I don't deserve you
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
And it seems like I just fuck up everything I do
They tell me there's no choice but to find a way through
Where did I go wrong
Was it something that I did that drove me to write this stupid song
I've got a question but I can't ask it
I'm trapped in this body, my eternal casket
All lined in velvet
And I wake up again and wish I were dead
I can't bear to think of what's up ahead
In your last second of life, you'll see it all
All the suffering that is and was
You'll get the option to stay on Earth
But no one ever does
(Could-could we get that to stop?)
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
And I stare at the ceiling with my heart full of dread
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
Wishing that whatever's up there would put me to rest
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
This whole existing thing is worse than I had guessed
You're burning daylight, you piece of shit, go get dressed
I used to say "I don't want to die, I just want to be dead"
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
Now I really don't care how it happens, just end it, I want to get out of my head
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
I never thought I'd think like this. It used to be fine to be me
(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
I don't know what's wrong with me. People used to want to see me

Where did I go wrong
Was it something that I did that makes me not belong

No need to worry, it's just another lethal thought
The way she smiles, the way she uses her voice

(So soft, so soft, so soft, so soft)
