Violet Lyrics


Joey Cape Violet


Tonight the drunks are infected
We're on our way
As if they drop by to see me uninvited
And I am a wallflower
Maybe a better father
This is a job

For seconds I miss the bentleys
Today, maybe they'll call
You describe every prison
You pass through them all
Then he asked you for your head
as I vowed to burn your bed
Try to pretend but this is your life

Somehow it feels right
I'm calling this evolution
I'm falling for institution
Warm submission enveloping you
Tomorrow I'll survive the questions
Knives buried with cold indifference
My world is true
Rendered by you

Here they come again
I could never find the words
So I disguised them in verse
Until it comes out dumb and wrong
The simplest song if you sing along
Marry me Kristen
I want to be the only one

I'm painting a revolution
I'm falling for institution
Warm colors enveloping blue
Shot of comfort in a warm convention
Medicinal injection

36 years ended by you
Tonight the drunks are infected
We're on our way
