In Violet

You never had it and never got it back

I saw you wasting everything you ever had

In violet, bargain your life for a flower

The last of your honor to die thinking you were a coward

I love you more than the sinking sun

Said I was a god, and I'm not sure that you bought it

The earth moved on, and I'm scared of the thought

That I'm sailing you off

I had, I want it back

I'm gluing the pieces into the book I have

I know that it's sweet, black cherry pit

I know what it eats, I know it exhausts me to carry it

I love you more than the sinking sun

Said I was a god and I'm not sure that you bought it

The earth moved on, and I'm scared of the thought

That I'm sailing you on

I'm a sinking boat, why don't you know?

That a plant won't grow in the deadly ocean

For the sake of all, that's keeping us floating

And our eyes open

I'm running an engine to the end of the road

I love you more than the sinking sun

Said I was a god and I'm not sure that you bought it

I love you more than the sinking sun

Said I was a god and I'm not sure that you bought it

I love you more than the sinking sun

Said I was a god and I'm not sure that you bought it
