Violet, You'll Live Through This

You want me, my garden, my roots To bend your way You would brave the thorns and the vines To find me there You will get what you're after I won't ever forget The way that it felt As long as I live You want me like you want the truth To read your way You would write your own provenance To put me down You will get what you're after I won't ever forget The way that it felt As long as I live I will carry it with me It's my burden to bear I will take it everywhere I will make it everything If there's a way I'll seek it out I'll follow it down I'll walk off the edge, come on You want me, my color, my shade To look your way You would paint a portrait of me To throw it in the fire You will get what you're after I won't ever forget The way that it felt As long as I live When you get what you want You find it's all violet Go on, take everything I will live through this
