lyrics

violet white is the light in your mind that keeps you from listening
so you’re long past my help and you don’t need anything
cause you’re so high. tell me a way to climb.
don’t mean to leave you behind.
me I could not deny, no one could ever say, never say, never say die.
but why?

running the, running the gamut. running the, running the gamut.
breaking the, breaking the habit. terrible, terrible.
getting your, getting your clearance. getting your, getting your clearance.
running the, running the interference. running the, running the gamut.
get this down: I’ve had it
and I won’t have it now.

scarlet ribbons unfold, liquid and sparkling.
trace a path from the hole, expanding and darkening.
so well prepared for the tragic role, somewhat disheartening.
what’s the use of it all, you just hope that you learn something.
everything speaks of you. you are not everything. everything’s going just fine.
but why?

running the, running the gamut. running the, running the gamut.
breaking the, breaking the habit. terrible, terrible habit.
getting your, getting your clearance. getting your, getting your clearance.
running the, running the interference. running the, running the gamut.
get this down: I’ve had it
and I won’t have it now.

I tried to throw you a line. I try too hard every time.
I tried to throw you a line. I try too hard every time.
you must be the one to decide. cause your right to sink is your right.
and I tried to throw you a line. but your right to sink is your right.
