Violent Blue

<p>Hey, don&#x27;t I know you from some other life?<br/>You were wide-eyed and green and a little bit taller<br/>And you didn&#x27;t look away when spoken to<br/><br/>Do you still take two sugars?<br/>You seem a little tense<br/>And I can&#x27;t help but notice how hard you appear<br/>When I look into your eyes<br/>A violent blue<br/><br/>Was it sudden? was it clean?<br/>Were there a lot of shades in between?<br/><br/>Step away<br/>Let off<br/>Throw it down<br/>And lose yourself<br/>Hey, are you in there?<br/>Or don&#x27;t you recall when the perfume of belief was all we needed<br/>It was all we needed to set our sights<br/><br/>So when did you throw out the rest of the world<br/>Deaf from the din of your self-righteous babble?<br/>I think you&#x27;ve been blinded<br/>By your own light<br/><br/>Was it hatred? was it pride?<br/>Or did you just have a lot to hide?<br/><br/>Come away<br/>Throw down<br/>Let it burn<br/>And lose yourself<br/><br/>Passion<br/>To ashes<br/>To smouldering ruins<br/>Are you in there?<br/>Are you in there?<br/><br/>Am I boring you?<br/>I could say more<br/>We were destined for somewhere<br/>But that was before you traded in your peace sign for a finger<br/>And I don&#x27;t believe it&#x27;s the way you were raised<br/>Or the cards you were dealt<br/>Or a poor self-image<br/>I think you love yourself too much<br/><br/>You want to rule some sovereign state?<br/>You want to smother in all that hate?<br/><br/>Get away<br/>Lay down<br/>Strip it off<br/>And lose yourself
