Violet

I see in crystal visions
White light ahead of me
Blue hands, broken bodies
Dull silver underneath

I hear you calling
You're never there
I hear your footsteps
But I can't find you anywhere
I couldn't stop you
I had my chance
I didn't know what you had lost
I couldn't ask

And in your great depression
I wish I'd stopped to see
Blue eyes painted violet
Dead oceans shimmering

And when I saw you
Beside the bed
Your fingers broken in a fist
Your body bare
I didn't know you that way
I could've failed you any day
I knew your secrets
I knew your name

You could hold on if I needed you
Been working so long but I can't break through
And I feel in the dark for you beside me
And I won't go back to sleep
You're still a part of me
And my heart's still breaking
