Violet

Violet - Joey Cape

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

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
