lyrics

On silent nights,
dying for dreams that might
have visions of
someone to right my wrongs

to be summer days
to be careless ocean waves
I’m caught in the dust
from every door I shut

I’m always close
purple with complex
over and over

Certainly you’re confident
but sleeping on your back
you can’t avert your eyes
from the moments that you lacked
you ignore the craze and brave the play impatiently aware
that you’ve been caught before the middle of
despair and breaking, falling on the ground
but softly, slowly hope dawns and resounds

Whiskey drenched cotton candy elation
I’m needling through a lethal aging
sinful tales of majestic missteps
moronic fails given what I suggest

I’m always close
purple with complex
over and over

Certainly you’re confident
but sleeping on your back
you can’t avert your eyes
from the moments that you lacked
you ignore the craze and brave the play impatiently aware
that you’ve been caught before the middle of
despair and breaking, falling on the ground
but softly, slowly hope dawns and resounds

hope dawns and resounds

hope dawns and resounds
