Lyrics

Purple Eyes (feat. Phoebe Ryan)

I'm so sick of having fun
I could never give it up
Oh, what have I become?
(What have I become?)
Tossing and turning in my bed
There's a devil in my head
Oh, what have I become?
(What have I become?)

That dark and stormy kind of pain
Yes I am the one to blame
Oh, what have I become?
I want to be a ghost
And disappear when I am broken
Oh, what have I become?

Oh one, two, three, four
Lives I've been given
What's the limit?
Oh one, two, three, four
Lies I've been living
With purple vision

Sometimes I wake up on the floor
No one calls me anymore
Oh, what have I become?
I'm spinning like a hurricane
I think my friends are all afraid
Of what I've become
What I've become

Oh one, two, three, four
Lives I've been given
What's the limit?
Oh one, two, three, four
Lies I've been living
With purple vision

Purple eyes in the morning
Purple eyes at night
Purple eyes in the morning
Purple eyes at night
Purple eyes in the morning
Purple eyes at night
Purple eyes in the morning
Purple eyes at night
Purple eyes in the morning
Purple eyes at night
Purple eyes at night
Purple eyes at night

Oh one, two, three, four
Lives I've been given
What's the limit?
Oh one, two, three, four
Lies I've been living
With purple vision

Purple eyes in the morning
Purple eyes at night
Purple eyes in the morning
Purple eyes at night
Purple eyes in the morning
Purple eyes at night
Purple eyes in the morning
Purple eyes at night
Purple eyes in the morning
Purple eyes at night
