Lyric Velvet Box

wait, shall we wait till the sands run out?
time, time will tell
that s something i m sure about dreams
there are dreams on the screen today
gone are the screams they ve taken them all away
truth is the date on the paper today
what s left to learn now fiction is all the rage
by the dim light of a candle
i see your picture it s hung on the wall
there s a strange face at the window
you re not the girl you were
you keep your heart in a velvet box
in a room within a house without a door
when i call i will find it locked
with a key you threw away forevermore
words, only thoughts that your lips have shaped
sold to the world a language that i ve learned to hate
no, don t let this heart beat slow
i ll run to your house i ll kiss your door
