	Story Behind the Song VELVETEEN by angelo ©gianni I saw you walking quickly from a waterfront bar. I followed you and you slowed, sensing my abuse. I whispered to you that there was a secret map tatood on my back, that with it I could lead you to something good, I told you that it, and everything else would be yours. You yanked up my shirt and turned me around and true to my word, the map was there. I felt your fingernails, frayed from biting in anticipation of meeting your perfect match, they trace the twisted paths. You pressed your fingers to your lips and gently touched the black pirate X, our destination. We set off. As we travel I fill you with promises and you glow. I tell you fantastic stories about the place that we are going. I lead us closer and closer to what I swore would be good, I lead us deeper and deeper into what I want I lead you away from yourself. But still you follow and you ask me to tell you again. I do, and you have no reason not to believe me and by the time I get you to my black X, you will find yourself too deep, too lost, and too far away. Lyrics Velveteen ©gianni Peel these layers Theyre not my own Dancing on slides under velveteen eyes and they put us away. Sink this prayer bubbles appear keep it locked down till we get a good frown and (then) we hobble away. Sink around my knees Im sick of these three words that hide behind me. Bend around my waist and have a taste of all Ive got to give you. Pin these medals into these eyes only can win when youre choosing to see and Im looking away. Sound this silence, make it our own. Ring it on out with a velveteen shout and you take it away. Sink around my knees Im sick of these three words Ive never told you. Bend around my waist and have a taste of all Ive got to give you. I think I want you in my sight it just seems stupid in this light. Im sick of thinking...makes it hard it seems important when youre gone I know you want to bend my arms back throw me down and make my heart crack Ill tell you how I really feel but right now what I need is you to Sink around my knees Im sick of these three words Ill never tell you. Bend around my waist and have a taste of all thats left within me. Wrap around my neck and forget it because were just next to nothing. Grab onto my hair Ill lead nowhere but still, well be together.
