Settle a Riot Songtext
von Violet

I wanna settle a ride
Behind the bars that close my eyes
If you bury the light
I′ll keep the lamp on just for the night
The temperament beyond the tension
Written by the ghosts who listen
Who would find a hole in the guide?
It's a pure piece of overdue redemption
Pull the chairs and push the dust in
If you′d like

Watching the tide burn with you, my dear
Watching the tide burn with you, my dear

See, I never thought the way the prayers were prayed
While splinters mixed with shards in its wake


You told me all your secrets
Filled the ark beneath the beaches
Kept the bodies over beacons in case
You bit your lip instead of kissing
Fumbled all your bits and pieces
Cut the overture and actors to say

The house is in a hold
So you turn it on the stove
And flick a match to give your problems a name

Watching the tide burn with you, my dear
Watching the tide burn with you, my dear

Watching the tide burn with you, my dear
Watching the tide burn with you, my dear
No one's come to mend your lies
But everything you leave to slide
And you can bring the smoke to your eyes
Watching the tide burn with you, my dear

Watching the tide burn with you, my dear
Watching the tide burn with you, my dear
