Violet
I've been walking circles
In streets for weeks
That don't stretch far enough for me
To run away from this place now
I've been trying to do what's right
I've been fighting
Every single day and night
For a while now
I'm tryna smile now
Trying to save myself
But every single day brings another (Just another day)
Kind of bother (You waste your life away)
Like some robber's tryna steal (You should go and pray)
My confidence away
By now I've turned into the prey
NO
People started to talk
About the way that I walk (I just walk away)
With my shoulders back
And my hair in a knot (Got nothing left to say)
Turns out I was not (Have a lovely day)
The way people thought I was
When I was seventeen
And I felt locked up
I went violet
I took a trip
And you should try it
Although I know
You'd never ever buy it
Oh how I wish you'd open up your eyelids
Picture this
Now stuck in a room
365 days a year (I just row along)
With a bunch of rich kids
Surrounding me as peers (But I do not belong)
Who don't really know
What their privileges is (So I wrote this song)
I know right
I was like
What the shiz
To get stuck in a rut
Would be my greatest fear (Got in the car)
Used to sing in the car
So no one else would hear (And set off the alarm)
I still sing in the car
But put it into gear (It worked just like a charm)
So I can skedaddle outta here
And go violet
Oh, I took a trip
And you should try it
Although I know
You'd never ever buy it
Oh how I wish you'd open up your eyelids
It's been a while
Tell me how you've done
How you're doing
What you do for fun
It's so amusing
How you think that you've won
And I'm the loser
When honey I speed
Past your cruiser
A few years from now
I might just see you
Face to face again
I sure will greet you
He better take care of you
Like you do of him
Drive save
And please feed your three children
And go violet
Oh babe I took a trip
And you should try it
Although I know you'd never ever buy it
Oh how I wish you'd open up your eyelids
Could you open up your eyelids
Could you
Could you
Could you try and go violet
Oh babe I took a trip
And you should try it
Although I know you'd never ever never ever ever try it
Oh how I wish you'd open up your eyelids
Could you open up your eyelids
Could you, could you open up you eyelids
Open up your eyelids
Could you open up your eyelids
Could you open up your eyelids
Could you open up
Could you open up your eyelids
In streets for weeks
That don't stretch far enough for me
To run away from this place now
I've been trying to do what's right
I've been fighting
Every single day and night
