The pavement is a mirror, reflecting all the lies.
I’m shielding these roses from the neon in the skies.
My breath is coming shallow, like a paper kite in gale.
Chasing down a phantom, watching all the colors pale.
The city’s got no mercy, it’s just iron, glass, and steel.
But I’m running ‘til I’m breathless just to prove that I can feel.
The petals are bruised, falling one by one.
I’m looking for a setting sun.
But the night is deep, and the dream is cold.
Is it worth the weight of the story told?
‘Cause I’m running through the velvet storm.
Looking for a heart that I can call my own.
If the dream is broken, let the pieces fly.
I’m holding onto midnight ‘til the morning light is dry.
Yeah, I’m free in the falling, I’m alive in the rain.
Dancing through the debris, washing off the pain.
Oh, I’m running through the velvet storm.
Velvet storm.
Midnight sirens echo, a rhythm for my stride.
There’s nowhere left to run, and there’s nowhere left to hide.
I remember how you promised that the flowers wouldn’t die.
But the stems are turning withered under this electric sky.
I’m not looking for a rescue, I’m not looking for the truth.
I’m just burning through the wreckage of the ashes of my youth.
Let the glass shatter.
Let the colors bleed into the gray.
I don’t care if it’s over, I don’t care if it’s gone.
I’m just gonna keep on, keep on, keep on.
I am the lightning.
I am the rain.
And I’m running through the velvet storm.
Looking for a heart that I can call my own.
If the dream is broken, let the pieces fly.
I’m holding onto midnight ‘til the morning light is dry.
Yeah, I’m free in the falling, I’m alive in the rain.
Dancing through the debris, washing off the pain.
Oh, I’m running through the velvet storm.
Velvet storm.
Velvet storm.
The petals hit the concrete.
The city’s finally quiet.
I’m still standing.
Just watch me run.
