Amateur Lyrics by Mike Taveira

Cut Velvet

2022

[Verse 1]
I've been running rivers
In this hardwood floor
Tongue between the scissors
My uncivil war
[Verse 2]
And I can taste the blood
Yeah, I can taste the blood
You love to drink it up
I'm melting in your cup
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Burn me up, I'm your half-life cigarette
Take a chance on me like Russian roulette
Never let 'em see you sweat
[Chorus]
Now he's going under
Los Angeles drugged him
That kid is gone
You're moving on
Used up from old lovers
One high to another
Just sing along
He don't got long
[Post-Chorus]
Drown in blue
Losing you
[Verse 3]
I can't call my mother
Killed her when I ran
Alienate my brother
He's the better man
[Verse 4]
I think they'll probably only remember me
As a burden that couldn't be
Anything more than an amateur
I'm not sure how much longer I can
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hold this down
Make them proud
Right before the lights go out
[Chorus]
Now he's going under
Los Angeles drugged him
That kid is gone
You're moving on
Used up from old lovers
One high to another
Just sing along
He don't got long
[Post-Chorus]
Drown in blue
Losing you
Impossible to break through
I'm losing you
[Outro]
God only dies when the last disciple leaves
Widows keep their husbands just as long as they can grieve
And the emperor ain't naked unless we all agree
There's nothing on this body, and there's nothing up his sleeve
