A violet night keeps you alive
But you never had the will to just take it in
I was possessed by your eyes
But you fell asleep most of the time
So I learned to speak to myself
While you were in a dream somewhere else so

Maybe, maybe if I could see you now
I'll find a way to sing somehow
Something to make you stay so wide awake somehow

She always said I was too silent
And I never found the words to entertain her
Maybe I tried just too hard to always be clever
While she only stopped for simple words
To keep her safe, to keep her safe

{Chorus}
Maybe, maybe if I could see you now
I'll find a way to sing somehow
Something to make you stay so wide awake somehow
Maybe, maybe if I don't save you now
I'll keep myself shattered somehow
Oh in every way, every way somehow
{Chorus End}

Then she would speak with a silver tongue
Yeah to whisper to me something sweet
And swipe me away

I sold your soul to a pack of wolves
For two pounds of pride and a lifetime supply of regret
Regret

Violet night keeps you alive
But you never had the will to just take it
Maybe it's all for the best
So darling don't lose any sleep over me, me, me

{Chorus}
