Liquid eyes

Melt the mayhem in my soul

Velvet voice calms

Demons left unwhole

Enter me now

While I lie asleep

Can you somehow

Make me laugh

Instead of weep

I lie in a bed of daffodils

Where all is soft and still

I don’t want to know

What is real

But can you show

The way

To make that feeling

Stay

When I’m awake

That the world is okay

Can you give me

What I lack

What I need for

World attack

Can you stay

When I wake

Make me remember

What’s at stake

When I push

Sunset into dawn

Drown out sunrise

Sorrows into

Praises on the lawn

When I remember

Who and what I am

Where I came from

Not a forlorn sham

In those silent moments

I know where I belong

And where I will go

And I hear your song

Revealed in ways

I can’t know

I lie in a bed of daffodils

Where all is soft and still

I don’t want to know

What is real

But can you show

The way

To make that feeling

Stay…

When I hear your voice

I hear Velvet & Steel

Where I have a choice

I know I can heal

When I hear my truth

I know what is real

I can lie down

In a bed of daffodils

Wake up to greet

The dawn

Whatever goes wrong

And know

At last, that I can heal

Because I am made of

Velvet & Steel
