About the Wicked Isaacs :: Songs and Lyrics :: Purple Lake Despair
Lyrics by Stolichnya Shima (c) 2003
once you dreamed the sky was made of water
(falling up falling down)
you said it made you think about your father
(press your fingers all around)
better than the sunset was your laughter
(not a breath not a sound)
thinking all about before but never after
(hold me still let me drown)
I'll show you how the violet waves are turning
(sunset bleeding and the sky bruising with the dark)
I always thought I'd like to die by drowning
(because then you'd find me floating and unmarked)
Some part of me was looking for this silence
(press of water yielding sand)
I'd heard it in the center of your violence
(sound the shell in your hand)
lost in the inertia of your eloquence
(break your only one command)
too late to speak I won't hear your admittance
(but i dream you understand)
I'll show you how the violet waves are turning
(sunset bleeding and the sky bruising with the dark)
I always thought I'd like to die by drowning
(because then you'd find me floating and unmarked)
[bridge]
your heart is all the stone I need to sink me
I am not the pretty precious thing you think me
let my blood turn to water so you can drink me
Into the deep
into the sleep
I wonder if you'd weep
I'll show you how the violet waves are turning
(sunset bleeding and the sky bruising with the dark)
I always thought I'd like to die by drowning
(because then you'd find me floating and unmarked)
(I promise it won't even leave a mark)
(in the purple halflight in the dark)
(it's the only thing that doesn't leave a mark)
