    This song was playing in my headphones while my mom was crying on the phone, we were in the car and I didn’t know what was going on, but she told me that a really close friend of ours killed himself, so whenever I hear it it’s what makes me think about him,it’s really cool how everything has a memory or feeling attached to this song, so I just wanted to share mine

    Lyrics
    Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb
    The light would flicker like a violent womb
    The night was thicker than a smoky fume
    Eliza waited in her room
    Ben, he loved her like he loved no one
    The way she laughed and held a smoking gun
    The way she always said "What's done is done"
    And he is not the only one
    Love is a gentle thing
    Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
    Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
    A victim here with a sharp, sharp blade
    And Ben, he knew how she was getting paid
    Her water broke and they would have to wait
    And when he knew that she was fooling
    He faced the mirror to avoid the thing
    We're out of money and we've sold the bling
    And I just wanna take you home
    I just wanna take you home
    Love is a gentle thing
    Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
    Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
    And I'm wondering
    Ring
    And I'm wondering

      I was abused as a child multiple
      Times and multiple people
      Physically s_xually emotionly
      As an adult i hurt myself and others crime prison the whole deal
      Finally i grew up a little late and
      Faced my past all of it
      I m ok today and have been for years now
      Lifes never perfect or easy
      But i ve come to believe its a gift
      And responsibility
      Nothing good comes with out
      Hard work
      Get a good counselor you trust or a person close to you
      And talk about everything thats happened to you
      And whatever's bothering you too
      Let it all out

    This song reminds me of when I was seven and I was sleeping at my grandma's. It had been around a month since my grandfather died and I was in the same bed as her. It must have been around 2 AM when I told her I couldn't sleep. Instead of trying to get me to sleep she asked me if I wanted to see the stars. I told her yes and we went to the little balcony on the living room. She pointed to a star that seemed to shine a lot more than the others. She said that my grandfather would always be the shiniest star on the sky. Now every time I get to look at the stars I always see one that shines more than the others.

Makes the future seem all the more worthwhile, maybe not for the promises of adult life, maybe not for independence from parental figures, but maybe just for something as simple human connection, maybe everything will end up alright if you have someone, maybe not close but just someone to talk to.

      @@fishtastic I know it's been three weeks since you've commented but truly thank you for this comment. Standing at the foot of a mountain, yearning to be at the peak, the road up the face of said mountain is truly daunting and self-deprecating to even think of at points. The journey to being even okay mentally is much the same, but in both cases, the view from the top is indescribably worth the journey. Thank you for just giving me the conformation that I made the right choice, even if meaning I gave it was unintended. This simple sentiment has reserved it's place within my mind. Thank you.

    I wrote a fanfiction book based off of this song (cringy, i know) to some of my favorite characters. - It gathered some of my closest friends that I have today and a ton of views. I’m currently one of the most well known fanfiction authors in that goofy little fandom. I helped people make their own fanfictions of it, and many people have told me they look up to me because of that one book.
    I love being a young, stupid kid. I get to write fanfics and have fun with it without looking back at the cringe too much lol. 🤷🏻‍♂️ just thought I’d share

    I am nine years old, running barefoot in my backyard, running through the dried up glen out back. I am laughing with my sisters, the hysterical kind of laughter that makes your ribs burn as if your heart is about to burst. The kind of laughter that's the most prevalent in memory, the kind of laughter that is childish and sweet and wild. I am laying on the trampoline, staring up at the clouds, fighting with my sisters over who got which superpowers. I am making fairy gardens at recess with my best friend, piling chunks of moss and grass into houses with imaginary owners. I am fearless and loud and emotional. I am nine years old, my ice cream is leaking from its cone down my wrist, I am laughing, crying, laughing.

      my theory is that when you wrap a ring made of fabric or velvet around your finger it’s thick in between them. could symbolize marriage or promises etc… and when people say they’re in the thick of love it’s like love is deep and powerful. i think it’s mainly about loving someone deeply in a childish way. that’s what I like to think anyway

      “Velvet Ring is about a couple but the woman, named Liza, is prostituting herself. The man, Benny, is aware of this which is shown in the line “Benny know how she was getting paid.” After this Liza becomes pregnant and although her and Benny struggle with money he decides to stay with her because their love for each other is so strong.”

Someday I hope he’s the one I marry, that he’s the one I start a family with. I want to hold him as he cries, care for him when he’s ill, and wake up next to him everyday of the year. I feel like he’s the only one who truly understands me.

    I was in Dallas recently to attend my half-brother's funeral and the next day I went to a local coffee shop for a good expresso Americana. I over heard this song on the shop's speakers and I asked the barrista for the name of it. I researched it the next day and was surprised to see the lyrics referenced a man named Benny. That happens to be my departed brother's name. Benny's ex-wife had attended his funeral and I could not help, but to feel that she still had feelings for him. It was a very somber atmosphere, but I was happy I went and made the long drive there.

    Chilled in the kitchen of a city tomb
    The light would flicker like a violent womb
    The night was thicker than a smoky fume
    Eliza waited in her room
    Ben, he loved her like he loved no one
    The way she laughed and held a smoking gun
    The way she always said "what's done is done"
    And he is not the only one
    Love is a gentle thing
    Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
    Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
    A victim here with a sharp sharp blade
    And Ben he knew how she was getting paid
    Her water broke and they would have to wait
    And when he knew that she was fooling
    He faced the mirror to avoid the thing
    We're out of money and we've sold the bling
    And I just want to take you home
    I just want to take you home
    Love is a gentle thing
    Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
    Yours is thicker than a velvet ring
    And I'm wondering
    Ring
    And I'm wondering

    Cold stoned and all alone
    Quietly Listening for someone
    You left me here a year ago yesterday
    I looked high and I looked low
    But couldn't find a thing
    Or even wear you had
    Begun to begin
    Apparently just a fling
    With The smoking gun
    Pointed right at me
