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
