Violet Hour

A candle to flame says You've been burning way too long When you reach to the bottom How much remains And how much is gone Tender the pain Eating it's way through time And pleasure the same that Rushes through the gates And settles in your spine Ooh I lose myself Does it get to you Like it gets to me? Ooh In the violet hour Ooh In the violet hour Driftwood to wave says You've carried me through the years You've smoothed at the grain And whittled away All my latent fears But my temper's the same I hold it in my chest Rage at the chains But held at the gate So that I can rest Ooh I lose myself Does it get to you Like it gets to me? Ooh In the violet Hour Ooh In the violet Hour Ooh Ooh In the Violet Hour Isn't it strange I never volunteered But put in this place Half asleep half awake I persevered Then I embraced All of my held back tears They finally taste The light of the day And then disappear
