Settle a Riot Songtext
von Violet

I wouldn′t settle a riot
Behind the bars I'll close my eyes
If you bury the light
I′ll keep the lamp on just for the night
The temperament beyond attention
Gleaming by the ghost to listen
Who would find you holding the kite?
It's a furious overdue redemption
Fold the chairs and push the desks in
If you'd like
Watching the tide burn with you my dear
See I never thought the way
The glass would break
Fall splinters mixed with shards in its wake
If you tell me all your secrets Build the lock beneath the bleachers
Beckon bodies over beacons
In case you bit your lip instead of kissing
Fumbled all your bits and pieces
Cut the overture in half just to say
That a house isn′t a home
Until you′re turning 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
Who needs complimentary lines
When everything you need is inside
And you can breathe the smoke through your eyes
Watching the tide burn with you my dear
