lyrics

The goodbyes and the skies of violet,
Then the summer night went dark and quiet,
She said “you gotta wake up”,
I said “you gotta look back”,
She said “we gotta break up”,
I said “babe, I don’t want that” but I,
Got all of your colour stuck in my head.

An affair in an abandoned play park,
The ghost of our children watched me from afar.
She said “you gotta wake up”,
I said “you gotta look back”,
She said “we gotta break up”,
I said “babe, I don’t want that” but I,
Didn’t really mean the things that I said.

And oh, I’m not in the mood for your sick jokes,
Give me a minute before I choke,
Underachievement is my goal.

The walk-homes underneath the storm sky,
Gotta make my way back home and tell my mother a lie.
She said “you gotta wake up”,
I said “you gotta look back”,
She said “we gotta break up”,
“Babe, I don’t want that”,
I got all of your colour stuck in my head.

And oh, I’m not in the mood for your sick jokes,
Give me a minute before I choke,
Underachievement is my goal.

Gotta wake up, gotta look back, gotta break up, you’re under attack.
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up, you gotta wake up.

Violent Violet.

The wake-ups in the mindless mornings,
The sun pierced through, colour light was dawning; violent Violet.

And oh, I’m not in the mood for your sick jokes,
Give me a minute before I choke,
Underachievement is my goal, it’s my goal, it’s my goal.
