Special thanks to Ryan Cassar for his hardwork and dedication; special thanks to Dan Staples, Matt Staples, and Alex Gage for their musical inspiration.
This song is about falling in love with a Ghost.

lyrics

Violent Violet
Caught my eye through a one way window.
Her reflection was all she could see
As she stared right back at me
As a smile struggled to break free.

Violent Violet
Exchanged dirty words on the phone
With a friend at the end of the line,
She thought she could beat her design
When she caught a drop of mourning in her eye.

Violent Violet don’t run, sleep where your fruits are won.
We will meet anon - be reunited as one.

Violent Violet
Waits under a streetlight, reserved for two.
A rendezvous with something new,
Shadows shrink from her poison hue,
As a figure stretches into view.

Violent Violet don’t run, Sleep where your dreams are sung
Though your days are done you still carry the sun.
