Lyrics

Deadweight On Velveteen

Deadweight on velveteen
It's retained emptiness
It's not what it seems

Uncover the mystery
Tell everyone what you see

It's not what it seems
Vulgar when brought to light

Betray, the image
There's nothing between the sheets
It's not what it seems

But deadweight on velveteen
Vulgar when brought to light
Vulgar, when brought to light
Vulgar, the light
