Nicky Kulay - VELVET (ego ballad)

And so, before I go
Remember who I was before
A child to tried to hide his insides
Through a broken door
I was yours

Sometimes I lie awake
And dream of dreaming
Turn to screaming
For you, and to bring out
Those sounds of color
And new hues of symphonies
That's why I call this obsession My profession

But will I become everything that I wanna be?
Or will he remain fantasy?
Will I stay the boy alone?
I don't know

Twenty-one years and the years wouldn't hurt
Just to see my name on a cheap t-shirt
I'd rather than survive at home
So I'll go

But say, before I go
Remember who I was before
That child who tries to hide his insight
Through this broken door

And as I leave these golden sunsets
Through the emerald trees
No man withstands the past by simply
Praying for reprieve

But I sympathize with those simple eyes
Who blind this greed and won't exceed that cliff
But I believe!
I've faith in the myth that I have the give to
Be that one thing, become something
That I believe, and I love
(Sympathize, symbolize)

But say before I go, I don't
Then all you'll know is lost potential
All I'll stay is nothing special
With no tomorrow

So can I become anything that I wanna be?
Or am I just a fantasy?
Will he stay the boy alone?
I don't know

Then say before I go, remember
Who I'm fighting for
The child to tried to find the reason he's alive
Behind a velvet door
I'll sell my face, my body on display, in vein
Just so you know I can
From the theatrics to the dramatic hits
The stage is who I am

So what are you waiting for?
Give 'em a show!

It's easy to pretend
That ballads are your friend
They're not
Just a means to an end, I thought
So long ago
That I could grow

From all these memories
But now that's all that I can see
Every word defined by diamond eyes
Only damage me, endlessly
In tragedy, and majesty
I lose harmony
Through melody!
AHH!

(I wanna be your bitch
I wanna be excited
I wanna stay submissive
To the world I live in
Disconnect with the discotheque
Lost beyond that DJ set
Who are we but the spaces
We breathe between?)

Will I become everything that I wanna be?
Or will he remain fantasy?
Will I stay the boy alone?
I don't know

So I'll go, so I'll drive
Beyond pride, I can't deny
My new life, so goodbye!
(Will I become everything that I wanna be?
Or will he remain fantasy?
Will I stay the boy alone?
I don't know, so I'll go)
So goodbye, so goodbye
To the lie of my life
GOODBYE
