Matrix Lyrics by Warwick Smith

Velvet

2023

[Verse]
It’s messy
Mascara’s running down
Impressive
The way you stick it out
Expensive
You wear your belt and chain
Defensive
You drink away the pain

[Pre-Chorus]
So are you tipsy top lopsided for the nuke I drop
You’re craving bacon and you’re shaking off the afterthoughts
A vortex forming you’re performing while the club’s in shock
Did you forget just for an hour, was it worth the cost?

[Break]
Write your post, delete it, knowing I might read it
Every thought you thinking I know

[Chorus]
Tell yourself you hate me
Let your friends all blame me
Hide under the roll
Where things get a little hazy
Light it up; electric
Planning out your next trip
Like I don’t exist
Like you’re breaking out The Matrix

[Post-Chorus]
I’ve been getting pretty sick and tired
I need a break from running through your mind
I’ve been working, you’ve been getting wired
The thoughts you shake will wake you up at night
(Yeah!)

[Verse]
It’s crazy
The way your stories change
What they see
Is just your side of things
So maybe
If people knew the truth
Then lately
You’d watch the way you move

[Pre-Chorus]
So are you happy with the way you pulled on the loose thread
You spend your nights in neon lights with all your thoughts of dread
The dust is numbing you’re becoming what you swore was dead
So tell your therapist you can’t get me out of your head

[Break]
Bump it then you block me, terrified you’ve lost me
I can feel your gaze on my skin

[Chorus]
Tell yourself you hate me
Let your friends all blame me
Hide under the roll
Where things get a little hazy
Light it up; electric
Planning out your next trip
Like I don’t exist
Like you’re breaking out The Matrix

[Post-Chorus]
I’ve been getting pretty sick and tired
I need a break from running through your mind
I’ve been working, you’ve been getting wired
The thoughts you shake will wake you up at night

[Chorus]
Tell yourself you hate me
Let your friends all blame me
Hide under the roll
Where things get a little hazy
Light it up; electric
Planning out your next trip
Like I don’t exist
Like you’re breaking out The Matrix
Tell yourself you hate me
Let your friends all blame me
Hide under the roll
Where things get a little hazy
Light it up; electric
Planning out your next trip
Like I don’t exist
Like you’re breaking out The Matrix
(Yeah!)
