Lyric

The neon buzz is a lullaby

Soft and slow

A coffee cup with lipstick stains

A quiet glow

I walk these streets

They're cracked like vinyl grooves

Chasing shadows

Chasing truths

Velvet sneakers

Scuff the floor

Leaving marks

We can't ignore

Echoes hum

Through the store

Velvet sneakers

Nothing more

A paper bag holds dreams that never land

A postcard sky

Smudged by a careless hand

Whispers drift like static in the air

I breathe it in

But you're not there

Turn the dial

Hear it hiss

A song that tastes like this

Velvet sneakers

Scuff the floor

Leaving marks

We can't ignore

Echoes hum

Through the store

Velvet sneakers

Nothing more

Graffiti hearts on the alley wall

They’re peeling

Fading

Won’t recall

But I’ll keep walking

Till I fall

With velvet sneakers

That’s all
