Faux Alarms - Velvet Grenade Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Straight A's and therapy sessions
Daddy's credit card confessions
Built my cage with good intentions
Now I'm choking on these lessons

[Pre-Chorus]
Perfect smile, but I'm burning inside
Ivy League dreams that I never designed
F*ck your standards, f*ck your pride
Time to let this powder kite fly

[Chorus]
I'm your velvet grenade
Pull the pin, watch me detonate
Sweet little mess you made
Now I'm spilling out in waves
Can't contain what I became
Your velvet grenade

[Verse 2]
Panic racing through my veins
Spotlight burning up my brain
Ran off stage in Carolina rain
Found myself in all this pain

[Bridge]
Suffocating in silk sheets
Trust fund baby incomplete
Screaming truth they can't delete
Watch me turn this weakness sweet

[Chorus]
I'm your velvet grenade
Pull the pin, watch me detonate
Sweet little mess you made
Now I'm spilling out in waves
Can't contain what I became
Your velvet grenade

[Outro]
Don't need your validation
Or your false acceleration
Just my own detonation
Sweet little anarchist sensation
(Your velvet grenade)
