lyrics

violet sprang
from a graveside hill
the summer storm sang
a song far too shrill
to suit your memory
as it blew through my being
now taking the wheel
send me careening into

finality
of being finally free

violet fragrance
so sweetly lethal
killing my craving
to please other people
when I could just please you

violet eyed
when the light struck me just right
locked in your gaze
daybreak and twilight
dust and pollution
diffusing the light
such ugly truths
and beautiful violet lies

your violet lips
and slow motion crisis
you wilt in the water
leave me desireless
never thought I would miss

absences opening circuits
I want it but do I deserve it
in the silence of your violet skied violence
not so much magic as tragic contrivance

violet eyed
when the light struck me just right
locked in your gaze
daybreak and twilight
dust and pollution
diffusing the light
such ugly truths
and beautiful violets, beautiful violet lies

slowly smother
in another
only dream in
your favorite color
(repeats over background)

(background)
turn my back
turn off the dawn
but how to unpack
if you want to move on
maybe I'm right
and baby you're wrong
but how to unpack
if you want to move on

violet eyed
when the light struck me just right
locked in your gaze
daybreak and twilight
dust and pollution
diffusing the light
such ugly truths
And beautiful violet lies

beautiful violets, beautiful violet lies
