Violent Blue (Now The Truth Can Be Told Album Version)

Hey, don't I know you from some other life?
You were wide-eyed and green and a little bit taller
And you didn't look away when spoken to
Do you still take two sugars? You seem a little tense
And I can't help but notice how hard you appear
When I look into your eyes of violent blue

Was it sudden? Was it clean?
Or a lot of shades in between?

Step away
Let off
Throw it down
Lose yourself

Hey, are you in there? Don't you recall
When a perfume of leave was all we needed
It was all we needed to set us safe
So when did you throw out the rest of the world?
Deaf from the din of your self-righteous battle
I think you've been blinded by your own light

Was it hatred? Was it pride?
Or is it just a lifetime gone away?

Throw down
Let it burn
Lose yourself
Passion to righteous to smoldering blue

Bathed in your violence
Are you in there? Are you in there?

Am I boring you? You could say I'm lost
We were headed for somewhere
Perhaps before you traded your peace sign for a finger
And I don't believe it's the way you were raised
Or the cards you were dealt or a poor self-image
I think you love yourself too much
You want to rule some sovereign state
You want to smother it all at night

Go
Lay down
Scream it off
Lose yourself
