Velvet Grass

I used to have this little thing by myself in winter, spring, in a room on the shelf It kept me calm like no one else My grandma is my mother and she let me cry She pulled me back together, helped me dry my eyes She taught my anger should be gone by the day She'd look in my eyes and she would say It may be true, you did not deserve this Don't focus on the past, it ain't worth it It cuts you open when you choose to hide Put your faith in the Father and look inside What to do, what to do, what to do Calming us through the velvet grass If this is a game, then I don't wanna have fun To be happy is easier said than done Penny for my thoughts, throwing up my tokens My parents don't help, they act like I'm broken Don't bottle it up like static When I share, I'm overdramatic She said my anger should be left by the bay She'd look in my eyes and she'd say It may be true, you did not deserve this Don't focus on the past, it ain't worth it It cuts you open when you choose to hide Put your faith in the Father and look inside What to do, what to do, what to do Calming us through the velvet grass What to do, what to do, what to do Calming us through the velvet grass The velvet grass, it holds your past And all your memories, memories
