My sorrow knows no bounds

It's embedded in the sounds

Of all my wishes crashing down around me

Haunting howl's of past surround me

Broken

I'm broken

By opportunities we took for granted, 

Never reaped the seeds we planted, 

All our hopes were wasted 

In a haze of weed that tasted

Smoother

But now I'm older 

I realise that time has passed me 

Music that will not out last me

Lingers in the void of silence

Flies its course without a pilot... 

So I'm violet,

Not bright but violet.

Calm like violet

I'm violet.

Misleading in my dullness,

Yes I'm violet, so violet,

I'm violet

Life is harder

So much harder than it used to be 

Age has not liberated me

It's closing in and chaining me

To habits

Bad bad habits

The sesh is not a party now

It's an obligation don't ask how 

We lost the fun but kept the drugs 

So fire up and take a lug 

Serve sense a notice of eviction 

Lost my smile embraced addiction

Colder

I’m colder

I've never felt this lost before

Forgotten things that once I saw 

The joy escaped, would not return

Never crossed a bridge I didn't burn 

The laughter stopped,

Replaced by silence...

So I'm violet,

Not bright but violet.

Calm like violet

I'm violet.

Misleading in my dullness,

Yes I'm violet, so violet.
