Hands Like Violets

Your cherry lips pair well with all my violet bruises I merely slipped and fell for all of your excuses When I shut you out I let all the violent truths in Will you shut my mouth or kick another tooth in I'm grateful for the warmth from the blood Rushing to my gums If I'm lucid and you're dishing out blows I'll take another one I'll be careful not to track in the mud Just quit playing dumb You aren't stupid and if everyone knows Well then it's never fun And I'm tired of relaying the same old news Cause your affection looks a hell of a lot like a bruise But oh You didn't mean it I know Just can't believe it So go I swear I'll leave it alone I'm grateful for the warmth from the blood Rushing to my gums If I'm lucid and you're dishing out blows I'll take another one I'll be careful not to track in the mud Just quit playing dumb You aren't stupid and if everyone knows Well then it's never fun I'm grateful for the warmth from the blood Rushing to my gums If I'm lucid and you're dishing out blows I'll take another one I'll be careful not to track in the mud Just quit playing dumb You aren't stupid and if everyone knows Well then it's never fun
