What Violet Says

[Verse 1]

The chocolate kiss that sealed her fate

Is fading like morning's dew we break

She's scraping her boots on frozen dirt

Her heels are plastic, "run the brass"

The drip of the tap upstairs won't stop

The twist of the key inside the lock

The cellophane taped around her mouth

And this is the desperate edge of now

[Chorus]

The sound of the subway is all we chase

The silence that pounds to the sound of shame

For what Violet says, ah-oh, ah-oh

For what Violet says

[Verse 2]

And there was a man who said he'd stay

But by the morning he was gone

She's connecting the coils to the tape

She's selecting the perfect hidden place

[Chorus]

The sound of the subway is all we chase

The silence that pounds to the sound of shame

For what Violet says, ah-oh, ah-oh

For what Violet says

The morning is calling her to be heard

She's scraping her knees on the frozen dirt

Oh, what Violet says, ah-oh, ah-oh

Oh, what Violet says, ah-oh, ah-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

The morning is calling her to be heard

The silence that pounds to the sound of shame

For what violet says, ah-oh, ah-oh

For what violet says

The sound of the subway is all we chase

She's pressing her palms on the open door

For what Violet says, ah-oh, ah-oh

For what Violet says
