The chocolate kiss that sealed her fate
Is fading like morning's dew we break
Shes scraping her boots on frozen dirt
Her heels are plastic, rock the brass
The drip of the tap up the stairs won't stop
The twist of the key inside the lock
The cellophane taped around her mouth
And this is the desperate edge of now
The sound of the subway is all we chase
The silence that pounds to the sound of shame
For what violet says a-ohh a-ohh
For what violet says
And there was a man who said he'd stay
But by the morning he was gone
She's connecting the coils to the tape
She's selecting the perfect hidden place
The sound of the subway is all we chase
The silence that pounds to the sound of shame
For what violet says a-ohh a-ohh
For what violet says
The morning is calling her to be heard
She's scraping her knees on the frozen dirt
What violet says a-ooh a-ooh
What violet says a-ooh a-ooh
The morning is calling her to be heard
The silence that pounds to the sound of shame
For what violet says a-ooh a-ooh
For what violet says
The sound of the subway is all we chase
She's pressing her palms on the open door
For what violet says a-ooh a-ooh
For what violet says
