[verse 1] i put on my earrings to take out the trash make a little occasion of feeling this bad the moon in the stairwell is cheap silver foil i step around everybody's beautiful noise you say i'm a lot with your hand on the door i can hear all the words you keep looking for there's a garden behind what i let you see and it grows through the furniture quietly [pre-chorus] i can make a look last hours i can make a silence sing i can turn a tiny kindness into almost anything [chorus] violent violet, flowering through every pretty lie i tell to stay with you i want the light so badly i bend i want a place where the wanting can end come get in my head for a minute see all the color i keep living in violent violet, hand on my chest love me before i can make it make sense [verse 2] there's a crack in the cup but it holds my tea there are days i can give that same grace to me when i laugh it's a door swinging hard in the wind when i cry it's the rain finding somewhere to live you keep waiting for silence to make me all right but the garden gets louder the longer it's light i won't cut every flower to clear you a view there's a path through the middle, i'll show it to you [bridge] i'm not asking you to fix it only sit beside the bed let the dark become a color let the color leave my head there's a little room for morning there's a little room for you [final chorus] violent violet, flowering through every pretty lie i told to stay with you i want the light so badly i bend i'm making a place where the wanting can rest come get in my head for a minute see all the color i keep living in violent violet, hand on my chest i'm learning to love what i can't explain yet
